Landing 26th August !!!!!!!!

We set off to Heathrow at 4am on Thursday 26th August 2010 in torrential rain and arrived at Terminal 3 at arounf 6.30am where we had booked a meet and greet for our car (Wish we had known about these on previous flights....a fantastic service)



Decided that we would take some duty free over for a party (It was Rachel's Birthday the following day). Rachel thought there was an 'and' between '1 Litres of Spirits' or '1.5 Litres of wine' and so we ended up with some 'extra' duty free !!



The flight, AC861, was fairly uneventful, the movies to choose from were rubbish and the food average but we landed in Halifax on time but at the same time as another plane which increased the queue at the immigration desk somewhat.









The initial immigration officer was very nice and pointed us all to the immigration office close by where we queued again for about 30 mins before being called forward to complete the landing process. We were asked where we wanted our Permanent Resident Cards posting to and whether we had more than $10, 000 cash on us. We were given a 'Welcome to Canada' Booklet .....but disappointingly no flag or hat !!



We were now Permanent Residents of Canada !!!!



We went to the Rental car section and upgraded to an SUV at a really good rate with Budget (Hyundai Sante Fe) and set off to the Super 8 Motel in Truro.
