Leaving home: We enjoyed an nice leisurely day of packing and preparation before getting into the limo at 1pm, and a smooth trip to Pearson Airport. For some reason, Larry’s passport didn’t scan in the kiosk, so check-in took a little while, but security was quick. [Later note: made quicker, apparently, by not retrieving our laptop. More about that later.] We were soon enjoying lunch near our gate. So far, so good, until Air Canada/Lufthansa started making garbled announcements about meals and vouchers. Turned out the catering company had a labour disruption and hadn’t delivered any meals yet, and wouldn’t be delivering any special meals. Mainly, this meant that the flight was delayed about 45 minutes. The next garbled announcements seemed to indicate that we should not inquire about missed connections until arriving in Frankfurt, and that they’d be automatically re-booked. And another 30 minute delay.
