Since most of you were
with us for the epic saga of “Are we going? How are we going? Do
you know when we're going?” at the Winnipeg Richardson
International Airport, I'll let you know what's happening now.
I'm writing this as we
ride the bus to Thunder Bay. It's 10:53 pm and we're about one hour
from Dryden, where we'll stop for a short break. Hopefully Megan
makes it. She's not up for using the on-bus facilities. We've watched
National Treasure just to remind ourselves of what it feels like to
find what you believe is actually there.
We've found out that
we're staying at the Victoria Inn and that we don't have to check out
at 1 pm. We've found out that EF will reimburse us for $15 worth of
food today (even though we're already on the bus) and $30 worth of
food tomorrow (before we get on the flight at 5:50 pm – AC 8540).
We've found out that for today it's just good to be on our way.
Soon, if not already,
you'll have received our flight information from EF, via email. If
not, here it is:
March 24: Depart
Thunder Bay at 5:50 pm on AC8540
Arrive in Toronto at
7:37 pm
Depart Toronto at
11:25 pm on AC858
Arrive in London
(LHR) at 11:25 am
Depart London (LHR)
at 1:50 pm on AC6649 (BD058)
Arrive in Edinburgh
at 2:35 pm
We'll likely hit the
ground running, so think of us as we try to rest and relax and
conserve energy for the adventures ahead.
Again, thanks so much
to all of you who felt along with, and supported, us as we muddled
through the information and made decisions (well, mostly we watched
as others made decisions for us) that we hope will result in the best
outcome for your/our charges! They're doing really well. They just
want to have a good time, and we want to make that possible!
For everyone here,
PK
PS We got in to Thunder Bay at 5:15 am local time. Most of us slept a few hours, then got up and had breakfast. We're looking forward to better days ahead!
