Day 1 - Toronto airport

A lovely early start to our day - 4:17 am!!  Bruce was so eager, he walked over to Roblin Blvd to meet Teresa.  I just waited at home, with the luggage on the porch and decided to fill the bird feeder and replant something! 
The flight out of Winnipeg was uneventful, expect that I nearly caused a major incident while we were taxiing into to the TO airport.  I thought we'd 'arrived' and took off my seat belt and stood up!  Yikes - that caused heads to turn and eyes to pop!
Here's some 'good news' for you'all!  At the money exchange they wanted to charge us 18% to change US money to Canadian money - which means $200 US was worth only $163 Cdn.  We nixed that little transaction in a hurry and just bought Euors directly with Cdn. currency!  The last time that happened to me, was in Cuba, but there at least one could understand it - they strongly dislike the US.
So, Bruce has had a little nap, but it's pretty hard to sleep in this airport; too much action - pages, babies screaming,TV playing etc.  I'll sleep on the next plane.  Oh, yeah, another good piece of news, because we're here so early, and checked in early, we have exit row seats for the flight to Amsterdam!  Yeah!
I see a lot of Korean kids, probably on their way to home-stays!
