    The trip has begun! Gabi (my travel companion for this trip) was picked up bright and early at 5:45 AM. Then they picked me up around 6:00 AM. The drive was easy (Not us driving 😁) and we arrived at Toronto Airport in good time. Through security and now relaxing at the airport lounge with some breakfast.

    Boarding is great. We are all tucked into our Business class seats. Yeah, I need extra wide seats. The flight was good, very little turbulence. The dinner was also good.

    The trouble started when we landed. Since we both had carry-on only, we left the plane and went through customs. Then proceeded to find our tour operators for a ride to the hotel. We checked in and were told to wait down the lane. We waited about 20 minutes before some showed up to take us to the bus. They stowed our luggage and we got our seats on the air conditioned bus. Then we waited and waited and waited some more. After an hour and a half, I got off and talked to the gentleman. Apparently some of our passengers luggage didn't make it on the plane. They had to wait to fill out forms for their luggage. Some inconsiderate people decided that this was a great time to hit the bar. ( Who cares about the people waiting on the bus) We finally got going after another 15 minutes. By the time we got to the resort it was dark.

    Check on at the resort was not much better. By this time I have a headache and am hangry. I had paid for an upgrade and we were to have priority check-in. We did, with 12 other people and one host!

    The room is okay and at the far end of the resort so it will be quiet.

    I'll get pictures tomorrow since it is dark now.

    Gabi and I went for something to eat and we will call it a night.
