After a nice flight back with stops in Resolute Bay and (overnight) in Iqualuit I have arrived back in Montreal after a pleasant train ride from Trenton.
I have seen my coolers in the back of the plane and time in transit was 35 hrs, good enough for them to stay frozen. After some questions I was reassured that they would to into the freezer immediately. I also learned that my personal baggage was not loaded onto the plane, so I will be without it for another week.
After a phone call from Montreal I received the message that the coolers are fine (in the freezer) and that they could stay their until the arrival of my remaining equipment.
