Please pardon the following rant if you're not from PEI.  •  Why doesn't the snack/coffee stand inside security open early in the morning when the first flights are leaving? This morning there were two, maybe three flights leaving early in the AM and it was shut tight, as usual. Is this not the …

I decided this summer that whenever I'm on my bike I'll have my GPS unit running.
