Our friends Gary and Adella arrived in late February from the snowy UK to the extremely snowy Okanagan Valley....so snowy that landing planes was abandoned at Kelowna airport and poor G&A had to spend a rather frustrating and dispointing night in a Travellodge outside Vancouver airport.
Air Canada's performance was pretty shabby with lots of queuing, they even lost the luggage but then phoned at 5am to let them know they had found it...which was nice!?
They were due to arrive with us on Wednesday 25th Feb but unfortunately didn't get here until Thursday 26th...and that was a close run thing as they had been given seats in row 32 on the next plane out of Vancouver to Kelowna but got to check in and the plane only had 30 rows! Rather than being strapped to the wings, some serious negotiation by Gary and a supberb hissy fit by young Adella resulting in them being put in the executive section and 18hours later they arrived!
Lessons learnt:
a) don't fly Air Canada....ever!
b) don't annoy Adella after 24 hours with no sleep and no chocolate...!
