Second flight of the trip Toronto to Calgary was uneventful, we left a warm and humid Toronto and arrived three and a half hours later in 1992. The airport looked exactly as it had in 1992, all brown, yellow and tired.
It turns out that is was only the internal flights area that had been neglected. The rest of the airport was modern, clean and stylish.
We had booked ourselves into an airport hotel as the outlaws were going to come and pick us up the following day. There was mention of us finding the new hotel and meeting there but when we heard there was a rooftop hot tub we knew where we would be.
We relaxed in the hot tub, and watched the planes land and take off from the airport. It was such a nice way to spend an afternoon. While investigating the roof we noticed that a couple of streets away there was a strip mall with what looked like a Wendy’s diner. Dinner here we come.
Little did we know that we would spend the whole day at the little strip mall. We had underestimated how long it would take the outlaws to get to to us from Montana. We checked out of the hotel at 11am and spent the entire day wandering from eatery to eatery. Around the car show rooms and down to a lorry fuel station and back again.
We spent almost of the day in Tim Horton’s devouring the Visio today sandwiches and French Vanilla Coffee. We joined the loyalty scheme and managed to earn enough points for a free donut.
We explored the warehouses, gyms and businesses that were alone the roadside. Had we known how long it would take we would have taken a bus into Calgary. It was like waiting for a car to be repaired.
Meeting up with the locals (massive dragonfly) and enjoying a burrito bowl at a Tex Mex opposite the “Smoke House”. Should have gone in there, it would have gobbled up a few hours. Instead we got slushies.
Brain Freeze and a spot of rain, what better way to spend the evening....
Back to Tim’s before being picked up and taken A&W, which was yucky.
