What we left behind;
The Canada Geese no longer
migrate south; it is amazing
they survive the winter!

Good-bye, Ontario, Canada
Overnight in Sheraton Gateway Hotel at Terminal 3, then a leisurely morning walk over to Westjet's check-in counter.
We tried out our new Nexus cards with some trepidation, but the retinal scan worked just fine. $50 for 5
years' usage of this card is well worth the saving in USA customs lineups. The only pain is if you carry
even the slightest food (e.g. an apple), you must declare it, and then are taken aside, which takes a bit of
time (but nothing compared to the general lineup time you saved).

We had to be de-iced; we left
just as a major storm was
hitting Toronto...whew, out in
the nick of time!

Still love flying; the views can be fabulous!
