On Our Way To Rome

Iris here-
We arrived at the Ottawa Airport this morning expecting to fly to Thunder Bay until we found out that we could get out of that and go straight to Toronto! Thanks to the help of Air Canada's Christine, we flew to Toronto, and here we are now. We've been here for about three hours, and we still have about six and a half more hours to go before we fly off to Rome! It's been quite the journey so far, and we still have tons to go!
Here at the Toronto Pearson, we've been pretty much just chillin'!

here is rory,
Brother steve explained why our first stop on the road to Rome would be thunder bay. He said it didn't matter where we had our first stop, since all roads lead to Rome. Further, family reasons, paternal in particular, would take us to thunder bay, a city that used to be two towns, a fort and a port. Only some people would know the names of those erstwhile towns, fort William and port Arthur. And only some would spot the nominal connection to our father, William Arthur Magill.
