Our day started very early with meeting at the airport at 245 for our 5 am flight! All 9 of us were raring to go with nervous laughs and hugs being shared with parents as we made the trek up the escalator through security.

Our relatively short flight to Toronto was good. We used a luggage service at Union Station after taking the train from the airport to Union Station. We dumped our bags and went to go watch the Blue Jays beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1. Bo Bichette trotted across home plate (a favourite player of mine) and Vladdy hit a home run! It was a good activity to spend the 8hr layover that we had.

Our flight to Paris was very full. Not a single empty seat on the giant plane.

We are on the last leg to Madrid and officially starting day 2!

Everyone has been a trooper with keeping with the group and going with the flow. Day 2 awaits us in Madrid!
