Late check out today, which techincally meant sleeping in but that didn't happen. We packed, and repacked, and then packed and checked out. The heat was pretty intense today so we stayed in the hotel lobby until we had to leave to return the car. The car temperature was 113F and it was warm outside. We returned the car. Checked our bags. Mine were unpacked by the TSA, wish I knew why. They left a little note card in my bag and crammed everything bag in roughing up the cover of a new book. Then we cleared security and had some lupper (lunch/supper, not sure which). And then the wait.
We boarded our little plane, and almost ready to leave when they came on and said the plane was over weight so they were randomly taking off 4 bags!?!?! Two hours in the air and then the pilots opened the little doors to the cockpit and we were able to watch the approach and landing in Toronto. Very cool!
Them the hurry up and wait! We rushed to get through Customs because our connection time was very short. We zig-zagged through the lines, cleared customs and collected our bags. We walked about 10 feet, put our bags back on the belt and lapped back to where we came from... and then back through security. My frustration is buying a drink (to stay hydrated in the crazy heat) within the secure area, never leaving the secure areas, going through another set of security and have it taken away because it was a liquid! Spent a lot on drinks that I only had half of...
We got to our gate and actually had some time to sit and as we were waiting for the boarding call, we get the dreaded page... the plane is not able to fly tonight. So we are waiting for another plane to come in, and it will be arriving in a couple hours. Thankfully I had a good mindless book to read, because we didn't board until 1am and watched part of my favourite movie before falling asleep. We arrived in Vancouver about 3am and got home sweet home by 4:45am. Just in time to get up (in EST) but convinced my body to sleep for a couple of hours.
