I should have known winter flying and I just don't get along. Back in December we went to the UK to visit my husbands family for part of the holidays. When we came home we had to connect through Montreal. To make a long story short there was a HUGE storm here in Nova Scotia so ALL the flights from Montreal to Halifax were cancelled. We were stuck in Montreal for two freaking days!!! Last weekend we flew home from Barbados via Toronto. There was a messy storm in Toronto and a different storm system with high winds affecting Halifax. We were over an hour and forty minutes late leaving Barbados. We made up time in the air and landed only 15 minutes late. The bad thing was there was no gate open for us to deplane! We were stuck on the aircraft, sitting on the runway for over an hour! After getting updates every 15 minutes for about 45 minutes Victoria looks and me and says " Mommy does he think we are dumb? Even I know it has been longer than 15 minutes!". Leave it to my seven year old! Once we got off the plane it took over 2 hours for the ground crew to get our bags off the plane and to us! By this point it was after midnight and there were no more flights leaving Toronto that night! Just freaking great. We waited 4 hours in line to get re-booked and to get a hotel room. We couldn't get a flight out until the next night at 10pm! Honestly we have no luck! We spent a few hours at the hotel before we had to check out and then hang around the airport just waiting...it was horrible. Our flight was delayed an hour but at least we made it home. Honest to goodness I don't think I am supposed to fly!!
