Round 2

After a few hours sleep we loaded the car and made our way to the airport again. So far it looks promising.

I was very interested in finding out what the problem with the airplane was last night so I called Flight Despatch and asked.

Air Canada ferried a serviceable B777 from Toronto this morning, and we are cautiously optimistic about leaving today.
