Unfortunately Tadhg, mom and dad had a longer than expected stay in Prague airport. When they arrived to check-in for their flight on Sunday morning, they were told that most major airports in Europe were closed due to heavy snowfall and their flight was cancelled. Mom had to queue up at the airline desk for an alternative flight while Tadhg and dad ran around the departures area. The earliest available flight was on Tuesday via Germany! Luckily the airline put them up in a hotel but there was a lot of waiting, queueing, waiting, sleeping, waiting, storytelling, waiting and eating. When they turned up for their flight on Tuesday it was cancelled and they had to queue again to get an alternative flight via Poland. Finally on Wednesday, Tadhg, mom and dad got onto a plane and cheered as it took off. To everyone's relief they arrived in Toronto on Wednesday afternoon.
Tadhg was a trooper during the long wait in Prague airport. He wore his Spiderman suit every day and became know as little Spidey by all the hotel guests (who were mostly other stranded passengers!). It was a bad end to their stay in Prague and made mom and dad more convinced that their move to Canada is the right one.
I can't believe you were stranded for so long! I am sure it is good to be at "home" now. Good luck with your new life! And...Happy New Year!
