I haven't dropped in for several days now. I guess I needed to rest after our trek across five provinces on the 6th. We flew from Charlottetown to Halifax; then from Halifax to Montreal and finally from there to Winnipeg. Of course, each stop required a different plane. I have finally swallowed my pride and now get wheel chair assistance at each airport. This makes travelling much simpler for us in our old age.
We were pleasantly surprised when we reached Halifax. It is an international hub and is so much larger than we expected. The building has lots of windows,is very bright and cheery. There are lots of shops along the discourse. We spent a pleasant hour there. When we reached Montreal we were given an upgrade on our boarding pass. It was a treat to sit on the Executive section - in front of the curtain rather than behind it! We were given very courteous and kind service by the attendant. The meal was delicious. Hmmm. It makes one wonder if we should cough up the extra money to use this service every time. I guess not, but it was a good thought.
Jenna is staying with us for a couple of days. It is so much fun to have her here. She spoke at the geological conference in Brandon and had, I think a great time. She will fly home on Tuesday.
Tomorrow Rick flies to BC and so Viv and Matt will come for dinner . It will be a fun time; I just wish all my kids could be here.
I love the pictures of Laurie and Rod's new home. I guess it is time to start saving my pennies for my westward excursion. I'll be buying another suitcase though, as Air Canada surely wrecked the one I was using.
I wonder if we will have a big snowstorm tomorrow? The odds are fifty - fifty!
We have quite a snow bank already.
Good night from Manitoba!
Cheers from Donna
looking forward to your visit, one day Mom. It is so nice you've had some time to spend with Jenna.
