Something else Frederic mentioned is that Air Canada is beginning to offer direct flights from Toronto to Panama. That wasn't an option when I was booking flights for E coming out of that region!
J and his Mom happily awaiting dinner!
Connections to Panama City are poor from western Canada and make for a long day of travel, so we were happy to stop in Houston. Once we claimed our luggage we called the La Quinta Hotel to catch the complimentary shuttle to the hotel. It arrived 15 minutes later. James escorted our family to the hotel in a matter of minutes. What we were a bit unprepared for was the cool weather. When I had been checking in on the hotel just yesterday the weather was an expected 21 Celcius. When we arrived here it was below 10 and wet!
The hotel offers breakfast with our room rental but we will be catching the free shuttle back to the hotel at the exact time breakfast food service begins tomorrow morning.
We decided we were willing to walk to "Good Eats" at the Holiday Inn for supper. James happened to be parked out front and offered to drive us to the restaurant. We gratefully accepted - not because we were unwilling to walk but because we were cold!
P and J shared fried chicken and ribs, E had mesquite chicken and I had pot roast. A delicious meal for $50! We braved the elements and walked the 10 minutes back to the hotel in the wind and dark cold weather.
J asked if anybody was willing to go for a hot tub. We all opted for hot showers instead (as the hot tub meant braving the elements outside)!
I was able to check in for tomorrow's flight using the one computer and printer at the business centre in the hotel. I even scooped 4 cups of tea and delivered them upstairs to my family!
Six AM will come early so I better head to bed!
