We are all here now

0630 hrs

All the siblings have arrived. One esconced in an all inclusive resort two miles down the road and one bunked in with us. Both arrived on AirCanada and both arrived late. Patsy and Sandy delayed just a bit and Charles delayed ninety minutes by the late arrival of the plane into Toronto from Montreal. It's a pity that the easiest and most relaxing airline to fly with is so unreliable on its flight times. We will be meeting Patsy and Sandy later this afternoon as they explore.

Walking to the airport was a ten minute walk and we arrived at the supposed time of the plane's arrival. It was delayed so we bit the bullet and bought a couple of drinks, the most expensive drinks in town, but who cares we are on vacation. The airport was a bloody zoo as seven or eight planes landed within the half hour. And a lot of other people crowded in to meet them, add the chaos of the porters, hucksters and taxi drivers and the place is a mass of movement. Watching it all from the safety of the bar made the experience easier. During the sipping a man emerged from behind the bar a gave out "beer socks" long tubes of insulated plastic festooned with beer names. We are now able to carry six beers that shouldn't get warm when we go to the pool.


Interruption for the walk.

Back to the story, Charles was suitably impressed by the walk amongst half million dollar homes backing on to a golf course - Very picturesque. Armed with free mickey d's coffee we are now ready for breakfast.
