O Canada...

Boarding began at LAX around 11:30 AM for our 11:55 AM flight to Toronto.  We all made it on board quickly (we had the last few rows of the plane).  The students seemed to handle the four and a half hour flight pretty well.  Air Canada is very comfortable.  Plenty of music, movie, and TV show options for each passenger as we all had our individual screens on the back of each headrest.  One of the flight attendants seemed to have a thing for Blake, picking on him that is.  She actually was very nice to him!  Very significant was the cabin lights—they were purple!

We arrived a bit early  in Toronto around 7:15 Eastern time (4:15 in L.A.).  Immigration took a while....we finally made it to our gate at about 8:20 PM.  We will have to get use to long lines!

We have started to meet some of the other pilgrims--a group from Napa!

About to board here in Toronto....see you in Madrid!
