Calgary

The drive to Calgary is easy and uneventful.  We board our plane for the 3 ½ hour flight to Ottawa – losing two hours we are due to arrive just before midnight.  Unfortunately when we finally arrive at the terminal the tarmac is very icy making it impossible for the pilot to manoeuvre the plane into the dock so we wait for 20 – 30 minutes for a “tow”.  This is followed by an hour long wait for a taxi then just to add insult to injury he runs out of fuel halfway into town!  Thankfully, despite the fact it’s New Year’s Eve we are rescued by another cab.
