HOME??? Sort of.

Okay so far we have flown 33 legs, 7616 nautical miles (15,232 kms), 17 days, 70 hours. We have one leg left to fly, 167 knots to Saskatoon, about 1hour 15 minutes and we couldn't go yesterday. It was very frustrating to be stuck in Yorkton because the weather had cleared here but in Saskatoon you couldn't see across the street. The other problem was we really wanted to see our families and Raul had a ticket to fly AirCanada out of Saskatoon at 8pm. So we bit the bullet, borrowed Mom and Dad's car and drove to Saskatoon. The most disheartening part was to see the route flyable, we could have made it but as always "Better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, rather than in the air wishing you were on the ground".
So we have sent Raul on to visit his family in Calgary and Josh and I did make it to Leask last night. It was great to finally get home, it wasn't for long though because we had to return Mom and Dad's car, so tonight we are back with them in Yorkton to spend Easter Sunday and fingers crossed that we can finally take our little CFIGT to Saskatoon on Monday.
One last note, it's flippin cold here - I don't care what you say!!
