I'm back to see the polar bears. In Winnipeg at the Hilton after uneventful (except for the hour long security line) flight from O'Hare.

Met a lovely couple from England in the shuttle to the airport. Audrey the wife is returning for a second go around with the bears, as a birthday present for her husband Arthur, who is on his first trip.

Will report after the get together dinner tonight. Need to find out whether this crew is as fond of long johns and pizza for breakfast as our wondrous Susan W (who I greatly miss).
