Before I start, I have to say thank you VERY much to Sorean for allowing me the honour and privilege of sharing his blog/website for the next 4-5 weeks!
Why, you’ll make best man for this!
Moving on, ok. Here we go with the details. SO. I began at the Saskatoon airport at around 8:00 or so in the morning when I was awakened by my girlfriend. (BEFORE my alarm). So. I started to pack (Tamara asked me if I had items packed that were on a checklist while I sat on the computer and threw more songs on my ipod), and then was soon off to the airport for the start of a great adventure!
Upon arrival (9:35ish), I realized “Hell, I’m here way too effing early!” as I was the only person period who was in line to get checked in.
So Tamara bought me a “Please don’t be too hungover on the plane” breakfast. Eggs, toast, bacon. Deeeelish! Mr. Matt decided to show up to see me off as well which wasn’t necessary but a wonderful gesture of good faith and friendship! Woot!
SO. After breakfast and thanking the gods that I wasn’t as hungover as the previous day, I went through the gates and got ready to board. This is when I realised how clingy my girlfriend is.
This isn’t a bad thing, and in fact it was very sweet. She kept creepily stalking me by watching me through a window.
Anyhow, I bought a bottle of water and boarded the plane (which is funny because i left that bottle of water in the Saskatoon airport. Great start).
The flight to Toronto was uneventful. Good leg room, watched Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. It was admittedly not worse than the first street fighter movie, but anyone who has seen that movie knows that this is FAR from a compliment. For those of you who haven’t seen that movie, all I’ve really said is that “It wasn’t COMPLETE horseshit”.
Not worth the hour and a half, but in a way it was…since it let me not just be effing bored on the plane.
Upon arrival in Toronto, I hopped out and looked for a bottle of water again and some form of food. Ended up getting some decent sushi from a place, chowed down, took a quick tour of the one small wing of the giant Terminal One at Pearson airport.
So I went to my proper gate on this SUPER UBER FAST moving floor. I’ve never had so much fun!! AHH! Went to a duty free store and helped a british woman select a wonderful Canadian Rye (Gibson’s 12 year for anyone who cares), and away we went on the plane to London!
Now I have to pause here and say that I flew Air Canada. When I first looked at how much their Exec class tickets were, I thought they had to be kidding. Then I saw the fucking EGG POD CHAIRS they got to sit in and wondered why I didn’t spring for that! I mean WOW! You’re faced out so you’re completely on your own, you have leg room and even a LEG REST, and christ almighty they even had mood lighting. MOOD LIGHTING.
Anyhow, the economy class was much more packed and boring. I got an aisle seat which was boring, and it was a 7 hour plane ride. Booring. Tried sleeping a few times, maybe out for about…2 hours tops. Watched The Wrestler, two episodes of Flight of the Conchords, one episode of Extras and even got part way through Chrono Trigger. Dayum!
Ok. Im off to bed for the evening, but I’ll let you know how landing, etc went sometime within the next 24 hours or so!
I WILL get caught up, trust me. It’ll just take time. Sorry, Danielle, but I have to run in the morning!
Night to all!
