Nellie-Zacatecas/Montréal
Bonjour guys! Im back in my appartement, in the snow – a lot of it (!)- after a landing of terror… Flight with Mexicana went just fine and I was almost home, after a stop in Chigaco, when, in final approche, the captain make this annoncement in french : “hum…euh… ladies and gentlement we have a problem with the hydrolic system I had to declare an emergency landing… there is no need to be panic…you will see fire trucks an ambulance following us on the runway… hum euh…” Yes, then you can imagine the rest,(people were scared!) I told the flight attendant that I was one to and that I would help… if needed! My blood stop running in my hands and instead of thinking of my “shouting commands and all the flight attendant stuff were suppose to think of” I though : Ohh well I did the dream trip I always want to do and now, well, I might just died! I also though I already say “I love you” to my loves one. You know the end of the story, I haven’t see St-Pierre yet and I had to shuffle off the snow : ) Enjoy every moments, I love you guys.

Hi Nellie,
I am glad that you made it home safely. It was fun getting to know you just a little. In fact, you were important in the making of this entire adventure of the engine “transplant” fun. Oh yes, I am doubly glad that you were there at customs when the engine passed through.
Abrazos,
Patricia
Hello Hans,
Mark and I are still very much appreciating you and the “transplant” duo (Ben) for the expertise and positive way of being and doing that you brought to this process. I didn’t have the expectation that it would be fun. It surely was. I am trying to imagine what it will be like to leave for a trip and not wonder if the engine will be okay. As you pointed out, there is still “stuff” with the rest of the Westy that might. . .well. . .do its thing. However, those things seem more manageable in terms of maintenance. Hope the rest of your trip is what you want it to be.
Abrazos,
Patricia
