The thing about living in a small town is you can't fly direct to anywhere but the nearest big town. Toronto in our case which requires an overnight stay to catch a morning flight so a lot of trips require a day of intermodal transport on each end. So yesterday as a longish drive and a hotel.

A pet peeve is the trend of airports saying to show up earlier and earlier. YYZ wants us there three hours early :/ so I'm at the gate with 2.5 hours to look for food and write a blog I guess.

We're going with backpacks and keeping it light. There are a lot of cruising sailor blogs on the area and one (www.nonconformest something.something) recommend a taxi so we skyped him and he should be waiting at the airport. I'm all for catch as catch can travel, but do appreciate a plan on the landing day, at least where to sleep and how to get there. After you put your bag down its a load off the mind.

We're traveling the length of the island to meet our captain at an unnamed bar on "the waterfront". What could possibly go wrong 😊

Really we are looking forward to this. Gotta jet.
