| From Bangladesh 2008 Photo Album |
Our day of travel to Dhaka started Tuesday early evening in Toronto, and ended early Thursday morning after seventeen hours flying time, nine hours layover in London, and ten hours time change.
Not so bad compared to my Dad’s longest mission of twenty-two hours flying out of Jessore, India (now Bangladesh) in WWII. We had the comforts of modern travel; he was crammed into a tail turret. We have no complaints!
Well perhaps one: our best-laid plans during our layover of heading from Heathrow to Windsor for a walk-about, lunch, and perhaps see the Queen didn’t happen due to a comedy of logistical errors. Instead, we walked through all five Heathrow terminals. Long story, one best not repeated.
But, at the end of it all, Team Bangladesh has arrived in Dhaka.
In the photo, we have just been welcomed by the Rotary members. In the photo (Left to Right) Doug MacDougald, Marg Garrett, Richard Hryniw, Maxene Henry, Capt. M. Khaliquzzaman of the Rotary, Joan Hryniw, Doug Jamieson.
