Xmas in Halifax with the Davenports

Dec 24

Flew to Halfax on the 25th, 10 mins before landing, the winds were too strong and we got diverted to Montreal.

...for two days

Food and accomodation paid for by Westjet

Of course a Canadian would watch hockey while running on the treadmill.

Leaving Montreal

Another weather bomb meant that our direct flight on Friday morning, turned into a 2am flight, with a 6 hour stopover in Toronto to get home.   Ah, but it was all worth it to spend some precious family time with my only sibling and her super family!
