Day 1
March 16, 2007

The threat of a snow storm in the Maritimes led to a significant change in our opening itinerary. When we went to check our luggage in Charlottetown early this morning, we were advised to drive to Halifax to catch our Halifax-London flight. They warned us that our Charlottetown-Halifax flight might well be cancelled as the result of the storm.

So after some quick phone calls we left PEI with two vanloads and headed for Halifax. Upon arriving there, they told us our flight to London was cancelled. However, Air Canada was very helpful and within 30 minutes were were boarding a flight to Toronto, with an onward connection to London. They knew we were coming and indicated that our luggage, shipped from Charlottetown earlier in the day, would be taken care of.

We are now at the gate in Toronto for our flight to Longdon. So far, they don't know the status of our bags. We trust they will follow us.
