There was a glitch just as my adventure started, delayed, missed my flight to Paris and hence spent the night in Montreal. But upon reflection it worked out for the best. If I had landed and ran to the gate, I might have made it but there was a very good chance that my luggage would not have. So instead of spending a day and a night with Charles de Gaulle, I spent it in a comfy bed in a hotel in Montreal.

Lesson: remain calm, things happen for a reason and it will work out! You just have to have faith, hope, be present and go with the flow.

Another perk was that I was able to have a Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich. So why complain!

There’s my plane. See you in Europe!
