Flight and trip home
Our flight home was an up and down affair. LOL! We left Victoria and set down in Kelowna. Because the set down time was very short, basically letting people off the plane and then other's board we did not leave the plane. From Kelowna we went to Edmonton where once again the set down time was short so we just stayed on the plane. From Edmonton it was off to Regina.
We had been watching the weather chanel and they had been talking about a winter storm that was making it's way across the prairies and we could tell that they had had snow since we had left. Just after landing we noticed that it had started snowing. We really did have an awful trip to Virden, the highways had snow sticking to them so we had to travel fairly slow. But the worse was when someone passed us, especially a semi! The just put you in a total whiteout. We probably should of just stayed put, or stopped along the way but we didn't. Thankfully we did make it to Virden safely. We noticed that by the time we got to Virden we were driving out of the storm, so we phoned and ordered a pizza to eat in the car. Picked up the pizza, took Poppa home, got our car, transferred our things and took off for home. Just that short amount of time the storm did get ahead of us and for about 1/2 the way home we drove in bad weather and then just drove out of it. When we got home to Brandon there wasn't any snow at all, although it did arrive here through the night! It was nice to be home, safe and sound and be able to curl up in our own beds that night.
