Highlight
After a two-day layover, caused partly by equipment malfunction, Tony’s entourage finally left the country Tuesday and flew through heavy clouds. The travelers cleared customs in Moncton, Canada, where they planned to spend the night. Today, they will try to make up lost time by flying about six hours through to Iqaluit, on the edge of the Arctic Circle.
