After two wonderful weeks in Europe we headed to Calgary, Canada from Berlin on British Airways with a stopover in London. There was no problem getting to London, but just before we were to board our flight for Calgary it was cancelled. The only flight cancelled that day. So we had to spend a night in London. After waiting an hour in line to get through customs we were told that Celia did not have a visa to enter England. Her filipino passport is just not that great. Ugh. So we spent another hour with British Airways begging for a voucher to let Celia in. Ugh. By then our patience was gone and Celia went into irritated grade 3 teacher mode and gave the students, uh people at British Airways, a scolding that made it crystal clear that she was not happy with their work. It was awesome! Anyway Celia got into London and the next day we reported to the airport still rather miffed. When we got on the plane we were first brought to business class, a surprising upgrade, and then due to a panel popping open over the seat next to us we were asked to move up to club. Club? For a second we thought it was another word for economy, but much to our delight it meant first class! We did a little jig as we were escorted up to club and enjoyed our 8 hour flight from London to Calgary in style. I think Celia's scolding paid off big time!
British Airways. All is forgiven.
Celia's Mavik Air captured our three main stops in Alberta: Calgary, Sherwood Park, and Red Deer in style.
On the day before we left Alberta we enjoyed Elbow falls with two great ones.
Have a great week! Love adios and ping on!
