Dropped by Liquid Assets as I was leaving the airport and picked up this Nova Scotia brew from Tatamagouche. I haven't seen a business like Liquid Assets at any other airport. Just past security and they sell just local alcohol, beer, wine, cider and spirits. #bskybeer #craftbeer #nscraftbeer

This day is just getting worse. Air Canada basically told us we are on our own. Book a hotel and the might reimburse us and provided taxi vouchers. Booked a hotel on Expedia and we are at the hotel and again no reservation. It was an unrefundable reservation. #travel

Air Canada booked us a hotel room for tonight then an early morning flight. Arrived at the hotel only to be told there are no reservations. Back at #Halifax airport to try again to get a hotel room for tonight. #travel. The Neverending Vacation

In my decades working at universities, I meant many frightfully brilliant people that I was happy were interested in things that would not wipe us out.

Starting to think I'm never getting home. Too windy for the plane to land, so heading to Halifax

Plane couldn't land, going to Halifax

So does that mean I'm stuck in Toronto another day?

Air Canada canceled our flight this morning and rebooked for tomorrow morning. They did provide a hotel room but in another hotel. The new hotel was only next door and it's a much nicer room so no complaints. #travel. Our new room and last night's hotel, that's how close.

Arrived in #Montreal, how waiting for our #Toronto flight. Air Canada is paying for the overnight hotel in Toronto. Plenty of freezing rain and canceled flights in Montreal

There's nothing really wrong with Pale Lagers, just kind of uninspired

An attendant got mad at me when I took this picture. I showed him the picture and said "The picture came out so I guess god does not have a problem with me taking the picture." #VaticanCity #Italy #travel

Today's proof of life from #VaticanCity #Italy #travel. Madness, the crowds. This is the off-season, can't imagine high season.

Starting to get bored with pizza and pasta. Going for pho at a Vietnamese restaurant, it's kind of like pasta. #Rome #Italy #travel
