And so it begins

8 months of negotiating, planning, booking and packing later and we are finally on our way. Currently 37,000ft above the Hudson Bay - with a great view of the ice cap (you'll have to believe us on that one as photo quality out the window too poor).

On our way to Calgary for 3 weeks of Canadian powder - can't wait!

We've already discovered why BA is best (T5 + delightful check-in assistant who sorted some minor issues + food even Sam can eat)...shame this is the only flight with them on the trip.
