Howdy folks,
Rushed this one so re wrote the entry now that I have time.....
Hi All!!
So seems I am trying to catch up already.....wrote something from the Montreal airport on Friday but ran out of time to post it so I thought. Seems our flight was boarding already....we had to run a bit for that one cords dangling and all.
Started the day bang on time with Jackie and Andy banging on the door to chauffeur us to the airport. The drive in was pretty good Andy was driving thru the
random crappy roads like a champ...amazing what a bit of snow can do at night. He got us there with time to spare and all it cost us was a Timmy's
coffee.....pretty fair I think. Thanks agin guys!!
So the fights went pretty good right up to the point where we got on the plane in Edmonton, seems they don't fly too good with a bunch of snow on the wings.
Not a prob till you de-ice....same time as everyone else....so left about an hour late. Ohh and then everybody filled us in on the wicked weather in Ottawa
and of course Montreal. Got to fly that whole leg thinking not gonna make the Montreal leg.......Got to Ottawa and yup it was snowing alright....had a snow
plow escort us in.
Nail biting time....gots to get to Montreal...even though we kinda dislike the place intensely...sorry if I offended anybody....but hey it's true.
So we got to de-ice again....and we got off the ground...oh and everybody is telling us (flight crew included) "Too bad, It's actually worse in
Montreal!"........Great!!
So long story short we took off....and 23 minutes lander plunk...Montreal, late but with time to spare!
Yayyyyy seems we were one of the last planes out of Ottawa....
Heh heh just as planned...so off to the lounge. Ohhh on the way I got to chastise a security chick for speaking french to an english guy...the nerve! I
totally ingnored the fact I understood her.....Shauna liked that.
Back to the lounge...Dang they got dark rum! and it's pour your own...Captain Morgan's to boot!
So next thing ya know we is chatting up with a couple of DND big wigs....passed on some carnal knowledge only the best rum can bring out in order to help our
beleaguered troops overseas .....they just nodded a lot....this leads into the opening statement of running for the plane and stuff.....
