DAY 1 - September 17, 2024

Getting there is never half the fun when you fly!

We were picked up by our favourite limo company at 8:30AM. 

Traffic on the 401 was insane which is perfectly normal every day. The first thing I do is remove my hearing aids - you can wear them with a mask or glasses with a mask but not both. It didn't take long for my ears to hurt. Does this compromise the benefits of wearing a mask?

We took off on time, right at noon. It was a good flight until we flew over Saskatchewan. These two shots are somewhere over Saskatchewan.

It was a very turbulent flight over our main prairie province. The seat belt sign was on and the captain had instructed to refrain from visiting the washroom. HOWEVER, some rules are made to be broken and that turned into a real Marx Brothers/Woody Allen affair. 

We landed in Edmonton on time, 2PM their time then spent a half hour walking the absolute longest trek to baggage claim I have ever experienced in any airport. It was easily a kilometre.

Tomorrow we'll pick up our car and really get this party started!  😎
