Arrived home (finally)

I really don't enjoy all the travelling to and fro between the UK and Canada, but the journey back to Canada this time was definately the worst.

Saturday morning we were woken early by heavy winds, and looking out of the bedroom window showed damage to neighbouring houses and gardens. This made us a little nervous about our flight being delayed, so we were happy when we arrived at the airport to discover that our flight to Amsterdam was on time. However, when we were checking in our bags, we were informed that our flight from Amsterdam to Minniapolis was delayed until Sunday morning and that we would be put up in a hotel for the night, but that we wouldn't be able to retrieve any toiletries or nightwear now that our bags were checked in...yay (not).

The hotel in Amsterdam was really nice with good food, so we were happy that at least our stay would be comfortable. The airline provided us with some basic toiletries and a change of socks, so I didn't feel as skanky as I might have done.

Sunday morning arrived and we left Amsterdam with no hassles. At the other end we arrived at 11.30am, we were given boarding passes for our flight to Saskatoon, which didn't leave til 9pm. So with 9 hours to pass by we went to the Mall of America which is just a 10 minute metro ride from the airport. We really didn't do much there except to eat and wander around. There was a cheerleader competition on there, so there seemed to a million cheerleaders milling around.

We finally arrived safe and sound in Saskatoon at 11.30pmish to find that it was -30 (YIKES)

We're both still a little fuzzy with jet lag, but glad to be back.

I'll be putting photos up soon from Christmas.
