Europe, of the 2011 variety.

We're off to new lands!

Day 1
We boarded the first plane in Saskatoon at 8 o'clock in the morning! A bit too early for some of our tastes, but not too early to trick Sr. Mary into thinking that some of the girls were just leaving PA at 5:30! *cough cough Keisha* Our first flight was on an Air Canada Jazz flight, the little plane with the loud engines. Our entire group took up most of the plane! Forty people in a plane that holds about sixty.. It was a lovely sea of yellow. After we landed in Winnepeg, we wandered around the airport for about 45 minutes, then got onto a Boeing 747 for two and a half hours before we reached the gigantic and beautiful airport of Toronto. The most common activities? Sleep and movies! Most people seemed to be into The King's Speech and Harry Potter (the newest installment). At the moment, we are hanging out around Terminal 173, waiting for our flight to start boarding, which unfortunately won't happen for another 45 minutes. The Toronto Airport is a good place to be, though the internet takes forever to catch up on netbooks, as we learned by trying to keep you all up to date. Entirely worth it, however! We are all tiredly excited to reach our destination- Paris! Sadly, we will have to wait another eight hours before we can see the sights. Should be amazing!
