Collingwood to Toronto to Rio de Janeiro

Collingwood-Toronto -Houston, Texas- Rio de Janeiro

Alarm at 5:50 am, up, shower, breakfast and final pack. Seems very strange to be starting out again.

David picked us up at 8:00 am and we arrived at the airport around 10:00 am. There was nobody at the airport and we sailed through to the gate. We departed at 12:40 pm.
Smooth flight to Houston via United, arriving at 3:30 pm Our wait in Houston was 6 hours. We found a quiet area with Wi-Fi and passed the time fairly easily. We had a lovely supper in a restaurant at the airport called Pappadeux Seafood Kitchen. Our waiter was very pleasant and with a glass of wine we passed the rest of the waiting hours just fine. We boarded at 9:50 PM for a 9 hour overnight to Rio. Once on the runway, our flight was delayed an hour because of paperwork, and so we sat. The pilot hoped to make up some of the time and he did by ½ hour. Supper was vegetarian lasagna and lemon sorbet. Lee had her usual very restless night and was so happy to get off the plane.
