We’re on our way.

The plan was a four hour layover in Toronto before our flight departed for Lisbon at 11:00 PM. It was ideal. Enough time for a relaxing dinner at the airport and then takeoff right around bedtime. It was a perfect plan. But as the saying goes, no plan survives first contact with the enemy.

It’s now 11:00 PM and we are definitely not on the plane getting ready to push back from the gate. After a series of messages pushing the departure time back in stages, we are currently scheduled for 2:00 AM. I suppose the good news is that it will be easier to sleep on the plane. The bad news is that I’m assuming there won’t be further delays or cancellations. Fingers crossed.

We checked our luggage, but not our patience or sense of humour, so we should be okay.

And just as I was about to post this, I received a message that our flight is now departing at 1:00 AM. On that note, I’m signing off before anything else changes and hoping for the best.

After we land tomorrow, I’ll let you know what actually happened.
