Doh!

Apparently you can't check your luggage more than 4 hours before your flight is scheduled to take off. Unfortunately this left me with my luggage all day. I didn't want to bother hauling it around, so I spent most of the day sitting at Pearson reading. Now, I'm in the lounge again, with internet access again, so can post on my non-progress towards Ireland. I would far rather have spent today in Ireland than Pearson. FAR rather.

They have a different port here, also nice -- Taylor Fladgate, First Estate, reserve.
