Here we go! After dropping off the kids the last time for a couple of weeks, Mercy and I picked up our bags and hopped on the handy Super Shuttle to LAX. After a busy morning getting ready we grabbed a bite and captured the launch of our trip with a quick picture!
Our first flight to Toronto was pleasant and uneventful. Historically, we’ve had good experiences with Air Canada (though that would change later this trip; more on that later…), and the new individual entertainment system they’ve installed since we last took them makes long flights relatively painless. Mercy even found a new HBO show to get hooked to (Succession; she says it’s great).
Of course, we’re still heading east (even if it is just to Toronto first), so we hit the sack pretty hard when we got in. Airport hotel dinner (nothing remarkable), followed by lots of ZZZs. That’s it for the first day!
