Wednesday 6 June 2012 Barcelona/Regina

We both woke up about 6:30 and could not go back to sleep, so we got up about 7, cleaned up, and went for breakfast. We returned to our room, watched some English language Russian TV (interesting to see their different perspective), and wrote some blog. Better to spend our free time in the comfort of our hotel room than sitting around the airport.

We rode the hotel shuttle to the airport at 11. At 5 Euros each it was a little better deal than the cab. It turned out that our flight had been moved up, but we were still there in comfortable time. We departed at 1:10 PM and arrived in Montreal just before 3 PM (9 PM Barcelona time). Our B767-300 had recently been renovated with new seating and individual TV screens. We both watched movies most of the way, although we both slept for a while after about 4 PM. I watched Act of Valor, The Debt, and Chronicle. Celeste watched Mirror Mirror, John Carter (although she missed part of it during her nap), This Means War, and The Vow.

With a long time still to go before we arrived home, we decided to get a bite to eat at a deli in the departure area. My order turned out to be quite a bit more than a bite!

Our flight had been moved about three quarters of an hour later than originally advertised and was actually even a little later than that. We finally arrived in Regina at 10:15 PM when Laura picked us up after about fifteen hours of travel and 21.5 hours since we woke up in Barcelona this morning.

Weather: thin overcast and warm with light wind in Barcelona; mostly sunny and 22C in Montreal, but we did not get outside; mostly cloudy in Ottawa, but we again did not get outside; thunderstorms south of us over southern Manitoba – very cool to watch from above; and mild with no wind at Regina.
