My flight St John's - Halifax at 13:40 and I prefer to arrive early at the airport in case of "surprise". I expect all! After an eventful night for the room near the top was a hell of pewter and has a pouring rain St John's hit (the effects of Bill), I head in the morning to the airport.
heavy heart, I stand at the Air Canada counter to store my luggage. What will they invent this time? ... The hostess of the counter asks me my passport and references from my file. I give him all these things and I quietly while she tapped on his terminal. Suspense ...
She recorded my suitcase, publishes the boarding card and handed it to me with my passport. I dream! And she even wants a good trip ... Wonderful, I had the habit! ... Relieved, stammering a "thank you" moved, I realized that it the first flight I'll take from this Saturday, August 15 where it all began. I could not believe my ears ... after all the difficulties encountered in Gander ...
short! The sun is the tip of his nose, Bill was passed in the night off St. John's. Green light for Halifax. After a quick flight, here I am, arrived in Halifax. I go directly to the American Airlines counter where I should pick up tomorrow morning for New York (JFK). Mike, the "GO" AA, had warned me that I will be escorted on the flight. Is trust! and also to accompany me on the formalities to pass U.S. Customs. I feel that we will not laugh. A stewardess told me directly introduce myself tomorrow at 4:30 am (the flight was at 6:30) and there I meet Bob, my "escort".
A hotel shuttle will take me there and as it is 15:00, to pass the time, I decided to visit the city of Halifax located almost 50km. After depositing my luggage in my room, I returned to the airport from which I can take a bus or taxi to Halifax. Standing in line to take a bus ticket, I saw a fare price for taxis and limousines. A quick calculation to infer that it would be cheaper to rent a limousine to three. I am sharing my finding with two other people waiting like me in the tail and mud, it gets into the limo that transports us to the city center. Two women resident in Halifax and returning from holidays spent in Western Canada, with me. The limo drops us off at the home of one of them and the second a long way with me in Halifax. Every day I reinforces the idea that communication between people is the most important thing is to improve the understanding, the relationship between us, sharing of resources ... and secondarily to prevent diversions of aircraft useless! The benefit of Man on the animal (not with intelligence) is good, mainly in the quality of our communication between humans. Well, here I stop my philosophy of counter ... But still! 
I cross so lovely public gardens with gazebo and pond with some ducks frolic around a model of the Titanic, I climb to the citadel, an old fort overlooking an old British garrison town and then down to the port. Halifax is a charming town in style with some old British "small skyscraper" on the edge of the bay and a marina from which boat to see whales off the coast of Nova Scotia (Nova Scotia as they say here). Originality tourism: amphibious trucks to visit the city and take a little trip into the bay. It's fun! It is 19:30 and it takes a good hour to get back to the hotel (shuttle bus +). Tonight I do not sleep late because tomorrow morning at 4:30 and early boarding pass U.S. customs on Canadian territory. I'm worried already! ...
