I think a flight delay from Toronto to Tokyo today was inevitable. We got onboard our flight to Tokyo after a short delay, found our seats, and settled in. Then…for over 2 hours, we sat stranded on the tarmac in Toronto because of a mechanical failure. After getting towed back to the gate, we got kicked off. We were rebooked on a replacement plane scheduled for 4 hours later. It was disappointing to have to turn back, but I honestly enjoyed watching the beautiful snowy day through my little round window and chatting with my daughter. I used to work at airports and have always liked watching airport operations. Here are a couple of pictures through my window of an Emirates Airbus A380 double decker that was loading up right beside us. It is a colossus! The pictures look washed out because it was snowing so hard.

Hopefully the next chapter will be from Tokyo….stay tuned.
