We arrived in Calgary last night. Flights were good (even the tiny plane), but it turns out that an hour is not enough time for a layover on an international flight! We arrived in Toronto at 5:00 and our flight to Calgary was at 6:00. We had to go through Customs, then go claim our luggage, then go re-check our luggage. Just when we thought we were good, we found the security line that we had to go back through! This was at 5:30 and the line had hundreds of people in it, with only 2 agents! We ended up finding an agent to pull us to the front of the line due to our time constraint. Jerry got through the line first and went to the gate to tell them we were there. Emma's bag had to be pulled aside...apparently her headphones were questionable! Long story short, we got through security at 5:52 for our 6:00 flight! Jacob, Emma and I sprinted through the airport, while listening to our names on the loudspeaker "The Oliano family needs to report to gate D36 immediately, the doors are closing on your flight." Aagghh!! We made it (completely out of breath!) with one minute to spare! We were those annoying people that boarded the plane at the VERY last minute that were holding them all up!
Anyway, we arrived in Calgary safely at 8:15 local time (2 hours behind CT) and spent the night at Sheila and Scott's. Today we are spending the day in Calgary and tomorrow we pick up the RV. So far, everything is wonderful!! Will post again soon and hopefully include a picture or two!
