Flying home...

In yesterday's blog post... I talked about my 'plan' to arrive at the airport at 8am, board and leave Iqaluit by 9am and arrive in Pang at 10am and be back in bed by 10:45am by the latest... Now some of you that are regular travellers of the north probably laughed and said...often when you plan things like that...well they don't normally happen!  So my flight was 20mins delayed....which was ok.. I picked up a book in Iqaluit from (which was the newest in a series I had been reading)...at one point in my flight I looked out my window...and thought I saw "Mt. Thor"  but shook my head because that was in Auyuittuq National Park...which is between Pang and Qik NOT Iqaluit and Pang... I just buried my nose back in my book... and continued reading... When we began our final approach---I realized that it wasn't Pang where we were landing--and it indeed had been Mt. Thor--and I hadn't gotten any photos so was a bit bumed out!  My guess was that indeed I was in Qik...but really wasn't 100% sure! 

After spending 30mins in the terminal in Qik... while the Cargo was offloaded and the plane was refueled... I returned back to Pang.... and I actually put the book aside and watched out my window.... it was a perfect day to fly over the Park!! 

I was able to fly up to Qik in the begining of June for work, and to visit my friend Emily who was teaching there...and LOVED the flight then....

I honestly think that this 30-40min flight is one of the most beautiful ones that I've EVER been on.....

Coming into Pang there were some 'clouds' just hanging around on the top of the Pang Pass mountains....

All in all it wasn't my plan to be on an airplane past an hour.... BUT I think it was well worth it... I got to fly the most AWESOME flight and take a million and one awesome photos.... and make me realize once again... I live in the most beautiful spot in the world!!

(oh and if anyone was wondering I did arrive home about 1ish after a stop at the Northern and actually didnt' go back to bed but dozed on the couch!)
