St. Johns, Newfoundland & Labrador (Canada)

[Mission to Norway - flying with Wade R and Frank C] We had lots of trouble getting out of the US today. First, we flew from NAS Atlanta to NAS Norfolk and landed right in the middle of a Weather Watch.  As a result, we couldn't take off for two hours. When we finally got going, it was clear that there would be problems with flying through Keflavik in the middle of the night. This required us to make major adjustments to our itinerary and we had to spend the night in St. Johns, Newfoundland. That was OK with me because I like that town. Our accommodations were at the Delta Hotel and Conference Center.  I had dinner at the Press and Bean (finished eating at 2010) and then explored the "downtown" area. Went to bed relatively late.  "Semper Gumby!"
