Though transit passengers have to go through immigration and customs at the Halifax Airport, all the rest more than made up:
- Going back through security, there was no line. I repeat this astonishing fact: I walked directly up to the x-ray machine.
- After going through security, I went through US immigration. How brilliant to run the checks before departure!
- Wi-fi is proudly supplied free by the airport.
- At the Spirit of the Maritimes pub they happily brewed my decaf coffee fresh. I write this from their high counter facing the runways and pines beyond, with mottled cotton-ball clouds drifting across half the sky, and bright blue in the other half, down to the distant mother-of-pearl horizon.
