Canada

Sorry for not writing since I've been home. It's been pretty busy around here since coming back!

I started my adventure home at 7am on Thursday January 12th. I managed to hail a cab myself and get to where i needed to go! (i was impressed, since the cab driver didn't speak english!) I got on the shuttle and I was on my way to the airport.

When I got to the airport they had armed guards blocking every door. I could only get in one door, which THANK GOD, was right by the Air Canada Check In Counters! From what I could gather, they had some sort of security breech with unclaimed baggage or something.

Soooooo I checked in, and waited , and waited, and waited and WAITED. I waited 3 hours! The final check in time was 10:30. At about 10:20 i went up to the counter again to see if they could give me more information about me getting on the flight... Of course, they made me stand there and wait LONGER! I was so stressed by this point i felt like puking and passing out! hehehe It was about 10:45 when they finally gave me my boarding pass. I was so excited I just about cried!!!!

I booked it down to go through security, and then boarded the plane. Yet again, another window seat! I video taped the take off just for Mom!

The flight was uneventful (yay). Although it did take off 45 minutes later than scheduled.

I arrived in Toronto about a half hour late, and met up with Uncle Har. It was a quick visit, because my flight left in an hour and a half! I pretty much said hello, goodbye, got some Tim Bits, and was on my way again! That flight had lots of room on it so i wasn't so worried about getting on.

Yet again, it was uneventful (other than the freaky dude sitting beside me :| ) I was pretty antsy the last 3 hours of the flight. I just wanted to be HOME! Just after 6:00 we landed in Vancouver.

Shaun came and met me at the airport, and ate the remaining tim bits hehe

I've adjusted to the time fairly well since getting back home, although for some reason i have an internal alarm that goes off at 6am. I'll have to make sure that one goes away REAL FAST!!!

Thank you everyone for following my adventure by reading my blog.
It was a very nice way to keep in touch!

Stay tuned for an Australian edition!!!!

Love Sissy

On January 2nd 2006 I will be embarking on my very first adventure overseas. I will be traveling from Vancouver via Air Canada to Toronto at 10:10 am on January 2nd. (Although I may try to get on the 6am flight with Amanda, who is heading back to Paris. From there I will fly to Paris, France, arriving at Charles de Gaulle International Airport at 8:15am on January 3rd 2006. My tickets are standby (THANK YOU UNCLE HAR!!) so this may change, but hopefully it doesn’t! I’m planning on returning January 14th leaving CDG ( Charles de Gualle International Airport) at 11:15 am, and arriving in Toronto (YYZ) at 2:00pm. My connecting flight to Vancouver (YVR) will depart at 4:00pm, and arrive back home at 6:07pm.
