However, that’s how their latest trip concluded after the group faced a number of obstacles along the way.
Torgerson, along with his wife, three children and mother-in-law, took a family vacation during the April break to Liberia, Costa Rica.
Their route back home was from Costa Rica to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, followed by a connecting flight to Calgary and then Regina.
Their return flight home on April 23 was delayed due to a broken air conditioner on the plane, but Torgerson said the delay lasted about 20 to 25 minutes before flight and airport crews were able to resume takeoff preparations for the plane.
