Return to winter

Returning to Labrador definitely means returning to winter! I had to walk through quite a bit of snow to reach my door and the temperature was -20 when the plane landed. While it did go below zero for a little while during my visit home, there was barely a trace of snow and the temperature was often above zero.

What I returned to!

I ended up with a longer than anticipated time at the Ottawa airport as the plane was late arriving and then they needed to move some of the baggage from the back of the plane to the front to balance the weight and very little time at the Halifax airport which wasn’t a big deal at all. I was very surprised to find that the handle of my suitcase was completely broken which was annoying especially because it so heavy to lift! I need to bring it back to the airport tomorrow. I guess if something like this has to happen, this is a good place for it as I live pretty close to the airport and I won’t need the suitcase soon! Between my checked and carry-on baggage, the total weight was definitely more than my weight.

The broken handle on my suitcase.

I wasn’t able to bring back as much as I wanted but I did manage to bring back enough food that I now have some stuff in a number of my kitchen cupboards that were previously empty! While packing last night/this morning I did question some of my purchases but I think I’ll do a better job in the future.
