Finally, a flight to St. John’s!

I took the hotel shuttle back to the Halifax airport at 11:00am with hopes that my flight would finally happen. 😬

And voila! The flight was on!

While waiting to board, I met some friendly Newfoundlanders in the airport and got some more recommendations. They were all surprised that I would be visiting Newfoundland at this time of year, but were impressed with my spirit of adventure.

Then I looked across the lobby. And there was Darryll! He was talking some poor guy’s ear off and was wearing a hoodie that had, “Dildo Brewery” emblazoned in pink on the front.

Yes, there really is a brewery with that name, and it’s located in the town of Dildo, Newfoundland. Of course Darryl knows the owners and does informal marketing for them. In exchange, he gets free beers.

There were several of us who had been stuck in Halifax and we excitedly boarded the little Dash 4-800 at 11:45. It fired up its propellers and we lifted off at 12:30 for St. John’s.

Thankfully I wasn’t seated next to Darryl. 😂

I had to pinch myself!
