Stuck in Canada Again…
My second visit to Canada and is as eventful as the first one. On the way to Canada, our flight was canceled. Had to wait with my wife and daughter (infant) on the airport without any help. Finally they put us on a flight next day. When we showed up next day, they told us my wife could not travel, because she did not have a US Visa. We told them we were traveling to Toronto, Canada and not US. But unfortunately we had a 2 hr layover in New York and we had to have a VISA. US, the only country in this universe which needs a transit visa. Our travel agent never told us about it. Very very frustrating. I almost made up my mind not to go. But my wife convenienced me to go.
Finally I land in Toronto on Tuesday afternoon just in time for my my workshop on “Styles of TDD” with William Wake. I missed the kick off of the Muzik Masti stage and Conference Retrospective, which was on Monday. After I landed it was a marathon for me. Back to back sessions. I had 4 sessions, 1 conference retrospective and 2 stages to manage. Everyone stepped up to help me, but it was crazy 4 days for me.
After all that, when I was finally really looking forward to go back home, I realized the flight was canceled. Due to bad weather in New York, all flights were canceled and I have to stay in Toronto for one more day. Worst thing is they don’t even provide me any accommodation. Thankfully Deb stepped up to help me.
I really think I’ve had enough. If I ever get back to India, I’m very sure I’ll never come back to Canada.
