And the Story begins...this has certainly been eventful. Greetings from Mississauga!! It is March 2nd! We have not yet left Canada due to horrible weather conditions. This is what has happened so far..we got to the airport and were all ready to check in when the weather started to get really bad and our flight was cancelled. We then tried to rebook flights but couldn't do it at the airport and had to call a 1-800 number to rebook. Ms. Prevedello was on the phone for and hour and a half trying to get us a flight! We had many options - our agent had us on a flight to Montreal, sold out, JFK, sold out, Washington, sold out, Chicago, sold out, can we drive to Montreal or New York?? hmmm the options. Oh look there is one to Vancouver - yeah cause that is the right direction!! Sold out...ok we can go through San Francisco. It gets more dramatic-- Abrar couldn't land in the USA because he doesn't have the correct Visa so he was going to have to fly by himself on our original flight from Toronto to Frankfurt to Chennai but a few days later. So we were booked to leave at 7:10am which meant we would have to leave the hotel at 4 in the morning! How insane is that?! Once at the hotel in Mississauga we went to eat dinner around 10pm. Then we got back to our rooms and there was a call from David Hamilton (york school represent!!) He received a call from Luftansa to let us know if yet another routing due to ticketing problems and that it was impossible to make this flight . We are now flying from Toronto to England to Chennai to Coimbatore at 6:30pm tonight with Abrar! We will keep you updated. Many thanks to David Hamilton and Melanie Simpson for the late night phone calls to cancel hotels, rebook other hotels, cancel drivers from go it to Chennai to Bangalore and back to Chennai, it has been quite a ride.
