Sad to leave Naxos behind but time to move on to our next destination: Athens. As noted in the arrival post, the Naxos airport is one of the smallest commercial airports I've ever seen. This room is about half of the interior waiting area, taken from the front door, with the check in counter to … Continue reading The Eye of Greece
My second time here today. Sad to be leaving Ilulissat but I couldn't have had better luck with the weather, making for a fantastic stay. Here's the Air Greenland check in counter, which has two desks. Just off to the left behind the person working is the Icelandair check in counter (beside Gate 1) - … Continue reading Nuuk – The Capital
The 24 hour daylight definitely threw me off, but after that late evening I got to sleep pretty quickly, with the help of (almost) blackout blinds and an eye mask. The morning was gorgeous. It was only 8 degrees C but the brilliant sunshine and lack of wind made it feel warmer, as I walked … Continue reading Ilulissat Means Icebergs
Ok, now for the most exciting part of my trip. I've been looking forward to this one for a very long time. Late last night I flew up from Zurich to Copenhagen and spent the night at an airport hotel. This morning, I'm flying Air Greenland to Nuuk! I had enjoyed a decent breakfast at … Continue reading Kalaallit Nunaat
After a late evening flight down to Munich and quick overnight stay by the Munich airport, I'm on the start of my next segment of this short trip. Heading to Boston today. But first, not without trying as many of the Lufthansa First Class lounges that I can squeeze in. My first stop was at … Continue reading That’s Chowdah!
Pretty much deserted here in the US/International check in area just before 6:00 am. Especially the Air Canada counter is pretty pathetic now after they've cut back so many flights from YYC lately. But this all made it super quick and easy to check in. A few days prior, the Aspire lounge in the Transborder … Continue reading The Big Apple, Again
Today we're off to the Big Apple. I'm super excited about this trip. NYC has been my favorite city since I was Ellie's age. And it's her first trip there! She's excited about it too! An early start... and a gourmet early lunch from Air Canada Bistro. To keep up with Porter Airlines, Air Canada … Continue reading Concrete Jungle, Wet Dream Tomato
As it turns out, we're travelling on 4 long weekends in a row this year. For the Labour Day holiday weekend, we are heading to Montreal. I haven't been there other than overnight stays close to the airport for... 20 years? It's going to be fun! The trip started out well in 2 ways. One … Continue reading Nous sommes tous Montréalais
In late March, we took a more traditional late winter trip - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a week. We had an early start that morning - alarms going off at 4:20 for our 7:00 flight. We made it onboard with plenty of time for breakfast after dropping our bags. And this time, we had Granny … Continue reading Here Comes The Sun
For Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend, we’re going to Chicago! Our aunt / sister-in-law Julie is running in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday so we’ll meet up with her, my brother Kasey and nephew Brady. Our trip starts out a bit early. I had forgotten about a free night certificate that I had at Bonvoy chain … Continue reading The Windy City
