Did the clock really say 4:00am????

Time zones really suck when you're travelling :)

So we left this afternoon to visit our dear friends Don and Marilyn who live in Grangeville, Idaho (please no potato jokes..I've heard enough!).

We left at 6:00pm Toronto time, arrived in Seattle at 11:10pm Toronto time (8:10pm local time) only to wait for our 1:00am Toronto time (10:00pm local time) flight to Lewiston. With me so far?

The plane was delayed 20 minutes due to a minor maintenance issue..uh hello..shouldn't we get on another plane then? Oh, no it's only minor, we can fly after the maintenance guy says ok...uh..ok.

So, it's an hour flight from Seattle to Lewiston but, wouldn't you know it, we had to make a stop on the way. Grr.. so we stopped to let people off at Moscow/Pullman to wait another 20 minutes for the maintenance guy to give us the ok to take off so that we could land in Lewiston literally 10 minutes later!
So an hour trip became two hours and 1:00am became 3:00am Toronto time (12:00am local time)...then a wait for the taxi cab, a short ride to the Holiday Inn, check in, elevator up and the clock did in fact say 4:00am Toronto time (1:00am local time) when we finally closed our eyes.
