Why do we have to leave? The weather is perfect, we are completely at home in this city, and it’s gonna snow in Calgary again.
Coincidentally, I receive an email from Alastair French who has found one of y letters from 1982 to his parents talking about the terrible winter in Calgary, minus 30 for 2 months and still snow. So it’s obviously not unusual...
We don’t fly til later so it’s off to the classy Costanera Centre, huge shopping mall at the base of San-hattan’s tallest building. Lunch is a seafood crepe and last maracuya fruit frappe (passionfruit, ah!)
Back to pack, we have acquired enough stuff for another case but amazingly, we get it all into two small cases, two carry ons, two backpacks and a couple of totes. Well done Ted!
WE relax on the patio ti the taxi arrives at 4:30. WE are allowing plenty of time due to the baggage handling strike, but it doesn’t affect us and checkin and security, etc. are amazingly simple and we have lots of time to spare to read at the gate. The Latham checkin area is deserted, I guess it is domestic travel that has been affected.
Air Canada’s Dreamliner is almost full and we have comfortable double window/aisle seats for the 10+hour flight to Toronto. AC have changed our flight, however, from leaving at 7:10 to 8am. Just as well as we would not have made the 7:10. But I email Lloyd who is picking us up in Calgary from the cell phone waiting area.
Slight glitch - I go to replace the Chile SIM card with the Telus SIM card. It appears I have thrown away the Telus one and kept the Argentinian one. So no cell phone.
