We checked out at noon and decided that spending the next two hours in the hotel lobby may be a waste of time so instead we ventured out to have one last look at the old city. It was SO busy! With it being Friday there were so many tourists! We were thinking of walking the walls of the city but we were running out of time. Instead we opted for a nice lunch which turned into a bit of a hurried lunch when we realized that we needed to be back at the hotel at 1:45. We ate at a kosher place that serves dairy and spoke quite a bit about getting back to Canada and eating meat and dairy together again!
Just as we got back to the hotel the shuttle showed up early. We were rushed on to the shuttle and before we knew it we were off to the airport. We arrived at the airport around 2:30 to the hustle and bustle only to be told that we could not check-in until 8:00pm! Shortly there after all the shops and restaurants started closing. Luckily there was one coffee place that stays open 24 hrs!
To fill the time we decided to watch Kingdom of Heaven. I had downloaded it at the hotel under the advice of our tour guide (it's all about Jerusalem) and we were going to take turns watching it on the plane but we had time to kill! Once the movie was over (we stopped for a dinner break) it was time to check-in.
Of course since leaving any city for me is an ordeal, I got tagged for the intensive search where they pull everything out of my check bag (seriously, everything) and that meant I also was tagged for regular security's intensive check. I passed though!
Sue and I just split a snack and I snapped a pic of this meal option. Note the fries and onion rings in the middle... What you can't see is that there are chopped up hot dog in there too! I don't get it!
Going to be boarding soon!
