First time I have flown over Greenland, Baffin Island, Nunavut, and the NWT... I could easily say this is also a first for Eva too.
After a decent long flight, we arrived in Calgary International; shattered and exhausted; to see a very happy mother and her husband David, who was there to greet us. She brought my neice (whom I haven't seen since she was born) who is the splitting image of my sister Kim in almost every facet.
We then went to (Pacquai's???) Restaurant near the Airport which, immediately showed Eva about the Canadian 'Brithday Embarassment' sing-a-long. This is when a cake is brought out and the entire front house staff sings some version of Happy Birthday to the unsuspecting vitctim. (Eva was not the victim)
We then got the scenic tour of Calgary to my sisters house to see her for the first time since her wedding.
More to come on that...
We were exhausted and crashed after a couple of beers....
