After their flight to Winnipeg was cancelled due to intense fog, four strangers banded together to forge their way home in time for Christmas, not by plane, but by rental car.

I've done this a few times... Once, the Via train Toronto to Montreal was delayed because of a 'jumper', and the related police investigation... Rather than just sit there, I went and rented a car, walked into the departure lounge and said, "I just rented a car, I'm going to Montreal, I have room for four people, I'm leaving in 5 minutes."

I got four older women who took me up on the offer, and I dropped them off at Dorval and Gare Central. We had a great time, but it was short lived. :)
