OK, this has been an interesting trip. Flight to Toronto was cancelled, so we got rebooked Montreal -> Halifax, and we planned to drive to Moncton tonight.
Montreal flight left when we expected--it was late, but we knew that when we booked it. Landed at Montreal airport on time. Sat on tarmac waiting for a gate for 30 minutes. Grrr.
So it was about 5:50 when we got off the plane, and our Halifax flight was leaving at 6:40. We got through immigration pretty quickly and went to get our bags. Matt's came off right away. Mine didn't. Eventually it was clear that it wasn't going to appear, so we went to file a missing bag report.
By this time, of course, we missed the Halifax flight, so they rebooked us on the next one, which doesn't leave until almost 10pm. Which is why I'm sitting in a restaurant typing this. (With a glass of wine. Yes, I need a drink.) We land in Halifax at 12:30am, at which time I have to file yet another lost luggage report. We decided the 2.5-hour drive to Moncton was a non-starter, so we're eating the pre-paid hotel room and staying near the Halifax airport.
This means we have a 4-hour drive to Souris tomorrow, and we have to be there at 1pm for the ferry to Cap-aux-Meules. Lord knows how my bag is going to catch up with us.
Believe it or not, we're still pretty cheerful after all this. But, man, I can't wait to get to the B&B in Havre-Aubert.
Hope you're all having a better day than I!
