Disembarkation day. Things started with a medical evacuation of what we believe was a crew member. They evacuated the patient by Can Coast Guard helicopter - haven’t heard a “Code Mike” call since our Oceania Around The World Cruise. We cool our heels at a local hotel while waiting for our afternoon flight to Calgary. Tomorrow we have a very early flight back to Halifax. Always sad to end an adventure with fingers and toes crossed we get home as planned - our luck so far this year hasn’t been great for travelling home. We got to do a bit of a walk around Resolute before being transferred to the airport.
Our flight from Resolute was two hours late leaving and then was delayed getting refuelled in Yellowknife. Resolute has a tiny airport which was jam packed with our too outgoing flights delayed waiting for incoming flights and then the passengers from the incoming flights arriving. Summit airlines is a charter airline and the whole experience was other worldly. No security to speak of. Everyone doing multiple roles, directing in planes, removing garbage, delivering food and luggage and greeting us. Our seats were preselected in a way that made little sense, no chance to change them and we received our first hand written boarding pass ever??? In some ways it was a lovely nod to a simpler time. Once we were in the air the food service was delivered in 4 sections, cutlery and snacks, drinks, potato salad and finally a hot meal. Watching the complete debacle was the most fun we had all day! 2 hours late landing in Calgary and a 6 am flight tomorrow - looking forward to being home.
