I arrived in Timmins after a horrible 2 days full travel. That is Libby and I sat in the Castlegar airport from 8 in the morning til 3.30pm, only to be told that no flights would be getting in or out that day, or possibly the next. Five times Rhonda, the Air Canada lady, changed my entire itinerary hoping the next flight would get out. So the decision was made to catch the greyhond overnight to Vancouver. The initial 5 hours were bearable as the bus was virtually empty. Getting to Kelowna was a shock, as there were 2 full busloads of people waiting to go to Vancouver. The Kelwona airport had been cancelling flights all dy as well. Damn cloud! So it was chockers for the nex 7 hours.
We arrived in Vancouver at 5 in the mornig, reallycold and really dark. I caught a taxito the airport and checked in. Thankfully no one weighed my bags, and I got them on the plane. The lovely lady at Vancouver even deposited me at the baclk of the plane, where I managed a couple of hours sleep stretched out across 4 seats! Woo Hoo!!
After a 6 hour flight (I think, as there were time changes and stuff) I got to Toronto airport. And waited the 3 hours til my delayed Timmins flight.
I got into Timmins and nearly froze my nostrils off walking from the plane to the terminal, it was -30degrees! Bloody cold! and then getting to the car.
I met Cynthia, and her mother, and checked out the house. We went through all the bits an pieces, then I got to go to bed! Never has a bed been so comfortable and welcome.
