We got on our plane to Winnipeg (our stop over point), and other than a slightly crappie video screen, the flight was fine. We did however discover that the plane we were on was to be the plane we had to transfer to for our connection to Vancouver. That sort of thing puts you at ease when you've got a tight connection.
In Winnipeg we had 15 minutes which was just enough time to get a muffin, and have a bathroom break, not in that order. We got back on the plane and to my joy, the new seat had a perfectly functioning video screen. Everything was fine with this flight except the landing.
For the first time in my and Allison's collective travel experience we had an aborted landing. It happened seconds before we touched down. We were coming in and suddenly we were going up very quickly. We flew around for about 20 minutes before we tried again. The second attempt was successful, but a little nerve wracking for the passengers.
In Vancouver we collected our bags, and also checked a few of them that we won't need on this leg of the trip. We then jumped on the train heading for our AirBNB. We checked in, grabbed a bite to eat, did a little grocery shopping, then proceeded to take a 13 hour nap. That's why we're up a 6 am and still wearing the same clothes.
Today we're off to the PNE.
