I actually took a vacation. It was fantastic!

And then the airline canceled the flight home. Nope, no more today. The flight had a busted windshield wiper or so, and they couldn't fly that plane. No, no hotel.

Got the same flight home the next day, after an overnight in a big Mexican airport, now jammed in with the people already booked to go home that day. Most of us didn't make that flight and we left them behind.

At our next leg they had minor issues with a dusting of snow in a light Canadian winter. De-icing is expensive and so they thought they just wait for it to warm up a bit. There we were, tired and still dressed in the Resort Wear from the day before, in a little unheated spur of the jetway around freezing temps. We begged for blankets from the desk since we couldn't get jackets from our bags.

A few hours later we got our regional flight home and a day or so later our bags showed up (to our amazement).

How did you know it was Air Canada ?
