Nowhere to go

Flying in winter season can be quite challenging, but sometimes destiny can exceed all expectations. Coming back from Toronto to Brazil a month ago things looked smooth at first sight; I went through immigration, customs and was relaxing in the lounge waiting for a connecting flight to the USA.

All of a sudden, just like those movies all flights got cancelled or extremely delayed, to a point where a lady from united told me I would probably have to spend another 2 days in Canada due to the storm.

Luckily, after lots and lots (believe me when I say lots) of phone calls and discussions with agents, they found a direct flight to Brazil with only 1 seat available… To cut a long story short, 9 hours later than scheduled I got home safe and sound… I took a picture of the situation; I don’t remember ever seeing so many cancelled flights before…

  When everything turns white!

  As most people know Brazil is famous for its pleasant weather, we usually have temperatures between 12C (54F) and 30C (85F) all year round. As a result, my experience with snow and all the troubles that snow can bring is virtually none or almost that as I always travel to North America during the winter. However, this time was different.
