Travel Day

Well today we just relax and let the other guys do the driving. The current snow storm here at home has caused the "bus" to arrive another half hour earlier. So now it's a 3:45 a.m start.

The good news is the day will be full of challenges...Westjet to Winnipeg departs Toronto 08:35 and arrives locally at 10:15. Calm Air departs Winnipeg 14:45 and arrives at Churchill, then on to Arviat and finally Rankin Inlet at 19:30 Central time. I have people waiting at the airport for me...that is if the weather holds and everything continues on as scheduled.

As the crow flies....approximate distances:

Toronto Winnipeg 1500 km
Winnipeg Churchill 1000 km
Churchill Arviat 260 km
Arviat Rankin 200 km

Very few crows fly north this time of year!

The bad news is it's a long day ahead...but I'm packed and raring to go. Also I willl miss all the college bowl games going on this week...don't know what kind of tv programming is seen there. Is there a video rental or movie theatre or local Legion?

Only time will tell.... and also this site.
