SAFELY HOME

Our plane was an hour late leaving Rome as officials there wanted to do a complete check of all the plane's systems. Apparently this happens quite a lot in Rome. Despite the hour delay, in Toronto, we whisked through customs, picked up our luggage, and got it on the connecting baggage carousel, in record time. We even managed an hour in the lounge before being called for our flight to Ottawa. Blue arrived at the airport to meet us just as we were exiting. Very smooth.
