Polar Bear Safari!!!!

Image
What a surreal day!  It was a magical day.  So many polar bears!   I'm not sure where to start.  Well, Air North is an awesome airline to fly with.  I've never been on a flight where the flight attendants were actually approachable and excited to be on the plane.  Maybe it helped that while we were out touring they also got to go on a Polar Bear tour. All day, the entire group we interacted with (the tour company people and all the drivers) for the trip was enthusiastic and more thankful that we chose to come along and make it possible, than us tourists were excited to be coming along.  I was impressed.  They were all waiting to help us check in and answer any questions.  And shook our hands and thanked us for coming when we got off the plane in Edmonton.  Maybe it's a Canadian thing but they were so, so, so excited!  It also felt like the entire town of Churchill was excited for us to come and visit!  Check out Classic Canadian Tours if you're interested.  It
