Arrival in Toronto

Ah, after a grand total of 27 hours of traveling we finally made to Barb's house in Toronto. And, as always this trip had its extra bit of enjoyment.

Our flight out a Chicago was delayed a bit, so we ended up with with some extra time which we used to enjoy a fine McDonald's meal...

We arrived in Toronto just after 23:30, and waited at the baggage claim for another 20 minutes before any of the bags started being delivered, they must have hand carried the bags from the plane. After the third set of luggage finished and most everyone had picked up their bags and moved on through customs we we quite certain that our bags hadn't made the final leg of the journey with us...

We had seen our bags in Chicago, where we needed to pick them up and bring them through customs, and we then checked them back in with AA for the trip to Toronto. There were bags everywhere at the check-in, and everything did seem a little disorganized. The agents in Toronto were nice about it and informed us that they should fly up today and that we could expect our bags to be delivered to us around 13:00....

So, today while Tina runs off to her dentist and does standard Canadian things, I'll wait here at the house for our bags.

But, even if they can't find the bags, you needn't worry, it's only our clothes, Tina packed all of the gifts she brought for people into her carry on bag.
