Heather and I have just arrived in Port Moody, BC. It was likely our first cross-country air trip for several years. Things have changed.
We left Paradise, Annapolis County on Christmas Day. It was a bright, clear day. Very little traffic. We decided to stay at the airport hotel. This gives us parking, while we are in BC.
Boxing Day, up early. We had everything packed in carry-on luggage. This avoids the likelihood of lost luggage, especially if there are travel delays because of the weather.
The air travel was essentially uneventful. Air Canada from Halifax to Ottawa. Air Canada from Ottawa to Vancouver. Nic picked us up at Vancouver airport and drove us to Port Moody.
Some observations. Air travel has changed with the technology.
- All passengers are using their devices: watching movies, playing electronic games. I had forgotten the need for headsets. Rectified, after an hour or two.
- Food is ordered, and placed on your credit card.
- Carry-on baggage was on the aircraft. No worries there except that it ended up on the baggage carousel.
The next leg may prove more complex. We fly to Kelowna, rent a car, and drive to Rossland. That is likely a separate blog.
After the Rossland visit, we fly Kelowna to Toronto; Toronto to Halifax.
