Inside Terminal 1.  It was time to get our kit off the carousel, and meet the school bus.

After a lot walking around the terminal and riding the elevator twice, we finally found our flight to barrie.  The planes (school buses) were parked at Gate P, platforms 6 and 8.

One bus was bound for Collingwood and the other was bound for Barrie and Orillia.  Athleates and their coaches help load the kit onto the buses.  Once the kit was loaded, it was time to board the buses for a 90 minute fight to Barrie.

After a successful flight from Toronto to Barrie, athleates and coaches help unload the bus and than everyone was dismissed and headed home with their parents and friends.

Thank you for reading this blog about my trip to Thunder Bay.  I brought back three Gold Medals in the 1 Kilometer, 500 Meter, and 100 Meter skiing races at the Kamview Nascar of Skiing and Snowshoing.  The events in Thunder Bay were a great success and everyone had a fun time.
