Alarm goes off at 7:00... Time to get up, taxi coming at 7:30
Doorbell rings at 7:03... Blair and Nadine arrive (about 15 minutes early, as we had to quickly get dressed to unlock the door), I think they were a little excited, as they both couldn't sleep well last night.
Get picked up by the cab, and off we went to the airport. Checked our 2 bags, and to security we went. The line was long, all the way out the door. Blair was surprisingly quite patient.
Through security, Adam and Lola met a lady the performed at Fringe that had a bird. That was a first, a little sparrow that doesn't fly, so she just carried it on her hand through the metal detector. The security agents had so switch as the lady was afraid of birds. The bird could be hidden in her one hand.
Off to gate 6, were Lola didn't get Tim's as the line was too long, and we waited. Lola's boss was also on his way to Toronto for work, so he came to visit. His flight left 5 minute before ours, and on air canada, so it was a quick visit, but nice of him to come and chat.
Loaded in the plane, almost all the way at the back. It was a good take off and super smooth flight so far. Blair and Lola staring out the window for at least the first 25 minutes of the flight. The quilt work of the fields are beautiful right now, also looking at all the infrastructure, like the lagoon at Dugald. Nadine and Adam reading their books.
The travel day is going well so far! Next stop Toronoto where Adam has printed off west jet lounge passes for us to relax and get some food and drink else while we wait for our flight to Fredricton. I think we are still on schedule, as we have made a detailed schedule to make sure we get the most out of our trip.
It is currently 10:14 (CST) and Nadine is sleeping, Blair is sleeping, Adam is reading (falling asleep) and Lola is watching tv and Blogging (doesn't look like sleeping is on the menu)
We are all excited to see where our adventure takes us! Excited to travel during a significant year. Celebrating milestone birthdays, and anniversaries (50,5,50,30, 30 and another 29!). We haven't traveled together (fantastic four) since we had a great time in Montreal. No skiing/snowboarding this time... But seafood, ocean, and topography! And maybe a little history.
Time to try and get to the lavatory.
Lola
