I forgot that you bid on that King/Taylor prize. Didn't you have a kagillion points before that? :razz:Quote:

I just looked on the Q site and there is no mention of it yet.
Someone told me it is the 1007th caller that wins?
Wouldn't that take up pretty well the entire hour:shrug:
Does anyone know more details?

So, after about 5 hours in Ottawa we boarded the plane. It's about a 3 hour flight from Ottawa to Iqaluit. We were on our way FINALLY! Just after take off the pilot apologized and explained the reason for the delay was that the fog was sooo bad that there was zero clearance & zero visibility! Fortunately, my plans were to only arrive in the hotel that day.
After about 2 1/2 hours into the flight, the pilot comes on the PA. I was thinking it was time for the "to buckle up as we are approaching" spiel. But NOOO! The pilot came on to apologize that there was STILL ZERO CLEARANCE and ZERO VISIBILITY! So, the pilot apologized and informed us that we were going to turn SOUTH and land someplace in Northern Quebec!
We landed and got off the plane. The terminal was a little bigger than 2 classroom portables stuck together! After about an hour an a half we boarded the plane AGAIN!
As I said I didn't have any meetings that day other than to get to the hotel.
Just after take off the pilot came over the PA and announced apologies AGAIN! Iqaluit was still fogged in with ZERO Visibility & ZERO Clearance! We were turning BACK to OTTAWA!!!!
We landed in Ottawa about 9:30 P.M. where I had landed 12 hours previously from T.O.!!! I contacted Iqaluit and they informed me to come back next week!
I called my in-laws and spent the night. Flew back to T.O. in the A.M.
The following week I arrived in Iqaluit FINALLY!!
I have an excellent memory for some things...http://dl5.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...u7h160ptle.gif
