Note
Sat on the plane in Ottawa for 2h as they investigated a strange 'leak'. Another hour later, we got on a new plane. Missed my connection, so now waiting in Vancouver for 5h for the next flight to Whitehorse.
First experience with missed flights etc. It really sucks, but they are quite smooth with handling it all.
Things have been going wrong all day it seems. When I checked in in Ottawa, they asked me to go weigh my bag on the public scale to see that it was under 50lb. I weighed it as 53, shit. Swapped a few items to my carry on, but only got it to 51lb. Really didn't want to pay the $75 fee for an over-weight bag, but couldn't really fit much else to the carry on. Had the thought though that perhaps the public scale over-measures a bit, so decided to risk it and go to the counter. Sure enough the bag weighed in just under 50lb, so no fee. :)

While I have the time to think of it...
All this headlamp talk is quite scary. Should I go for the magicshine or whatever its called. Would I need to change the battery? Should I wait unitl I get to Sweden.
