Day 1 – Leaving Toronto

Today was such an uneventful day, it probably doesn’t even warrant its own blog entry.

We flew out of Toronto into Zurich on an overnight flight, so after driving to the airport in the afternoon, we checked in for our flight, stopped into the Maple Leaf Lounge for dinner, and boarded our flight.

Here we are arriving at the International Maple Leave Lounge at YYZ.

And after an hour or so in the lounge, we proceeded to the gate to board the flight.  It was particularly crowded in the gate area, so the lounge was a welcome oasis.

The flight was scheduled to depart at 6:10 PM and arrive in Zurich at 7:50 AM the next morning, which is 7 hours and 40 minutes of travel time.  Therefore, if I was to have any hope of enjoying our first day in Paris, I was going to need almost all of that flight time to get some rest.  Shortly after take-off, I decided to skip dinner and try to get some sleep early.
