Vacation: Day 1

Today is a travel day. As such there is not much to report. I am feeling extremely exhausted. The last couple weeks at work were the very definition of killer. Frankly, I'm surprised I didn't just collapse. But that's ok since I've got a LONG plane ride ahead of me.

Dropped the dogs off at the Pet Hotel at around 1pm. As always, it was a sad affair. It's really getting harder and harder to part with the little critters. Courtney and I love them so.

After that, finished packing, mom picked us up, said goodbye to my dad and made our way to the airport.

Walking to the ticket counter, this dude was being escorted out by a cop. He starts screaming, "Don't you hurt me! I'm cooperating!" Making a total scene. It was bananas!

Of course, as per our luck, the ticketing agent we get is the new girl. She was nice and everything but it was her third day and she wasn't quite sure how to navigate through the menus. To make matters worse, we had to complicate things with an additional transfer that was booked by different means. Of course.

Plane ride to Vancouver was fairly uneventful. Read some stuff in GQ about tailoring your suit and finding the perfect tie. Tried to play Megaman Zero only to have it hand me my ass. Then settled on the USA Today Crossword Challenge, only to have it, too, hand me my ass. Fortunately, by that time, we were descending into the land of maple leaves and Tim Horton's. And this holding tank.

Now just the wait to get back on the plane and on to the long leg of our trip. Next time I blog will be in the Philippines!
