A short layover in Munich gave us time to grab a more substantial breakfast, before boarding a larger Lufthansa plane for the long flight over the Atlantic. Jane watched movies on her seatback while I listened to several albums on mine. As with the flight over, they were not shy with the food and drink.
We finally landed in Toronto - twice. As we touched down the first time, they suddenly powered back up and shot straight up into the air. The seasoned German flight attendant assured us that this was normal, and promised to get us more details as we made a wide circle over Toronto for a second attempt. We were then informed that a "sudden gust" had prompted the last-minute wave off. The second attempt was flawless.....our theory being that the (very young) co-pilot got to try the first time and then the Captain took over.
Once we claimed our baggage, our late afternoon arrival put us firmly in the midst of Toronto rush hour. We arrived home while daylight waned, to gardens full of daffodils and tulips, and a house full of needy kitties.
AWESOME TRIP!

Being a former amateur pilot you can be assured that you are 99.9% probably correct on that being a training landing, Mike :) Good call :)
