The family did not anticipate their relaxing tropical vacation would end with them driving across two and a half provinces to return to their home in Regina.
It was a bumpy road back home for one Regina family after they enjoyed a relaxing tropical vacation.
Steve Torgerson did not expect his family’s recent getaway to Costa Rica would end with them driving across two and a half provinces to return to their home in Regina.
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.
Due to the delay in Costa Rica, the family found out they had missed their connecting flight to Calgary, meaning they would miss their final voyage home to Regina as it was planned.
It was when the family arrived in Toronto that they realized there were bigger problems ahead.
