Travel Day (continued)

As mentioned in a previous post our intentions of updating our blog daily did not come to light.  Our hotel room didn't have the greatest wifi connection to upload all we needed/wanted to say/share in photos.  Our plan now is to try and do a post a day of the days we were away (some more exciting than others) instead of one looooong post.

Friday (Travel Day)

We got to the airport in Hali around 12:00 noon and the excitement was starting to set in.

Twin 1 seemed a tad more excited lol



First stop after check in was security.  We have never seen the security line so long in Hali.  Someone must have been on lunch.

Speaking of lunch, we are cheap and were trying to save money where we could so Twin 2 packed some peanut butter sandwiches for lunch while waiting at the airport. 


We thought Porter might give us a free lunch as well but unfortunately it was just snacks and drinks.  For snacks we had the option of chips/cookies/almonds.  We chose chips (the decision needed to be made quick).  We were given these...low sodium gluten free excotic vegetable chips. Yum. Yum.


Twin 1 thought this looked like Onyx's pig ear.


Cookies it is next time.

We arrived in Ottawa around 3:30 p.m., caught a cab and checked into our hotel.  It was pretty nice.  It was pretty much a one bedroom apartment with a bedroom/bathroom/full kitchen/dining area/living room/balcony.  Highly recommend. We liked this idea as well so we could cook our meals and again, not spend a lot of money.



Once checked in we headed to the nearest grocery store and bought some food for the weekend, most importantly being our supper on Saturday night and breakfast Sunday morning before the race.  Friday night we decided to pick up a frozen pizza and have that and in the meantime we snacked on cheese and grapes.  Loved this little package.  Also had crackers in there as well.  We picked another one up again on Saturday for an afternoon snack.



After supper we checked out the rest of the hotel and planned out our Saturday.
