Travelling with my wonderful hubby Z is always fun...we had a great free breakfast at the airport lounge before getting on our flight. This trip is a little different than our usual in that we are also travelling with Z's mom. She has a sister in Brussels whom she hasn't seen in about 20 years and so the first part of this trip is for a visit with her and her family.
The flight to Montreal is just under 5 hours. I watched The Butler which I thought was a wonderful movie. The story was powerful and the actors portrayed the characters well. I only wish I had made an effort to see it sooner.
Killing time in Montreal consisted of dinner at another lounge and just hanging out till boarding time. We're definitely in Montreal because there is Habs paraphernalia everywhere!
Our flight from Montreal to Brussels didn't start off well. We were delayed for about 1 hour for 2 reasons. First they had to change a tire, better they do that before we leave then find out as we're landing that it needed to be changed and second they needed to wait for an Air Canada engineer to come and reboot the computer system because the pilot's attempt didn't work. The flight itself was fine, but because we were delayed leaving, once we landed we had to wait on the tarmac for room at a gate. So all in all we were about 1.5 hours late. No real big deal except that we had Z's cousins waiting for us. Getting through immigration was a breeze and off we were to start our European adventure.
We were met by Z's cousins. They took us back to Z's aunt's place where we based ourselves while in Brussels.
