We left Phoenix this morning at 7:00am, after an Uber ride to the airport (which I can recommend, by the way).<\/p>\n
Almost 4 hours to Toronto, then another 3 to St Johns on West Jet airline.<\/p>\n
West Jet is Air Canada’s budget airline. We upgraded to “Plus” service, which gives you a little more legroom, early boarding, free meals (cold sandwiches) and free checked luggage. Costs about the same as coach on a “real” airline, but was more comfortable. <\/p>\n
St. John’s is colder than it has been the past couple of weeks that I have been watching it; 46 Fahrenheit this evening.<\/p>\n
For some strange reason, Newfoundland sets their clocks on a half-hour rather than the even hours that most countries in the world use. It’s 1.5 hours later than EDT, so that’s 4.5 hours later than Tempe. Free breakfast at the Comfort Inn is served only until 9:00am, which is 4:30am Tempe time. We might not make it down for breakfast tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we are going to explore the town. There is a hop-on\/hop-off trolley through town that passes most of the interesting tourist stops, so we’ll do that. Friday we pick up our RV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
