Garry flew out of Winnipeg around 8 am Tuesday, I only had to drive back home from the airport. We had light snow overnight, so there was some snow on the roads, but were there around 6:20. He ended up with only one suitcase, and carrying that ultrasound machine box through all the airports (he says it got heavy) and his little backpack. He got hot, and managed somehow to stuff his hoodie in the backpack and just wear his jacket.
He met up with Daryl in Montreal, they had five hours between flights, and Garry got to go to the lounge with Daryl and filled up on free food. He had an exit row seat on the seven and a half hour flight to Vienna. He got a two hour nap on a bench there before their flight to Moldova. They were checked into their hotel room to shower before dinner. I know his bag arrived because he was wearing the one Tshirt that was in it when he video chatted with me. He wished he'd worn one for the plane, I think.
Thursday was their slightly unplanned rest day, there was a mix-up on which day Adam would be there, and a second night at the hotel was much cheaper than rebooking the flights. In the morning they had a leisurely breakfast and took a walk down to the market. Garry said he bought Alona a new beaded picture kit to make.
Tomorrow morning they'll be on the road to Ukraine. Two hours to the border and how ever long to go through and then seven or eight to Kirvoy Rog. He wasn't sure if he'd get to the village on Friday or Saturday. They actually had to wait for Adam's suitcase to arrive so didn't leave until four in the afternoon, so he won't get to the village until Saturday. It looked like the border crossing was going well when he called me.
