From Montreal to Vancouver to Seattle

It's been a busy few days.  By busy, I mean lots of flights.

I had to be in Montreal for an Interior Eval yesterday evening (my choice, since the airplane I was going to be looking at couldn't go up for a test flight yesterday due to weather, it made sense to zip out and take care of this while it was down).

I left home at 2pm, got into YUL at 5:45 and went straight to do the inspection.  By 7:45 I was done and on my way for dinner.  Then, to the hotel to talk to Lola and get some rest.

This morning was spent in Montreal.  A short 1.5 mile run at the hotel gym, shower and breakfast while I worked.  At 11, I made my way to the mall for a quick haircut, then to get fuel for the car and to the airport.  And into Lounge 1 of 2 for the day.  I quickly scarfed down some salad, a slice of pizza and some soup for lunch, all while answering emails and doing work.

The flight from Montreal to Vancouver went by rather quickly, as quickly as 5 hrs and 45 mins can I guess.  I got lots of work done. And at another lunch-like meal with a chicken wrap and then later some pretzels with hummus.




How many emails when I was on my flight
How many emails once I arrived in Vancouver
 I am now in Lounge 2 of 2 for the day in Vancouver, waiting for my 30 mins flight to Seattle.  From there, it will be a short drive up to Everett for the night.  I have a design review meeting tomorrow morning and then hope to meet some other colleagues to discuss how we can work together (and to see what interesting tools they have for writing reports).

Rainy in Vancouver
Well, hopefully my plane arrives soon so we can get into SEATAC - I'm starting to get tired.  Maybe I should get a coffee with Baileys, that sounds good...
