Now Wasn't That Fun

Well, we made it.
Doesn't it figure (pun intended). The first real dose of winter we get in Ottawa this year, and it has to hit the day of the flight to Halifax, and the 2007 Canadians.
Between our plane being stuck in Montreal (they eventually found us another one) and de-icing, we were two hours late leaving. Fortunately, a couple of my CTV pals (the lovely and talented Lynn and Brenda Nightingale of Kanata) were stuck waiting, too, so we passed the time gabbing about all things skating.
Finally got to the hotel at 6. The weather's nasty, but the good folks here manage to greet you with a smile at every turn, and they're helpful as hell.
Then again, they are Maritimers.
God, I love this part of our fair land.
Anyways, enough about the trek here.
Let the skating begin!
