Well here I am in Pennsylvania with my parents, sister and Grannie. The flights here were relatively uneventful, which I suppose is a good thing really. Both were delayed a bit, but such is life. We had a planned 3 hour layover in TO anyway, so the first one being delayed was no big deal. Erin had to share her seat with the lady next to her, which she wasn't to thrilled about, but on the 2nd flight we *each* got a window seat AND an aisle seat. Sounds pretty swank, but really it's cause there was only one seat on either side of the aisle. Interesting. We did have a very cute co-pilot / flight attendant though, who welcomed us aboard and stuff. He looked a bit like Mark Messier, but cuter. Neither of us lost our luggage or had to do anything embarrassing at customs. I did bring one present for my mom that they asked to see in the Moncton airport, but it was no big deal. Last time they asked me to turn on my camera. It's a 30 year old Pentax. It doesn't turn on. I told the guy I could take his picture, but that's about it. Speaking of the Moncton Airport....it moved!? I knew they had opened a new terminal, the Queen blessed it or something, but I did NOT know it wasn't attached to the other terminal. So that was a bit of an adventure, we showed up at the old terminal (which I have no idea what they're going to do with it now, it's deserted) and were like, hmm, there are *NO* cars here. And cars parked in front of the doors to get in. Interesting. On the door they have a sign, telling you where the new terminal is. It's much nicer, but shouldn't there be a big sign saying, TURN HERE FOR THE NEW AIRPORT. There is not. On your way from the old airport to the new one, there's a little sign with a plane pointing into the street you have to turn up, but that's only after you've been to the old one and already have a vague idea where you're headed. Very helpful.
Anyway, I was thinking I probably wouldn't be blogging much, but Mom and Dad have speedy internet, so I'll be on a bit I guess. But to all of you who are headed in various directions for the holiday season, enjoy the time with friends and loved ones. All the best in celebrating your festivity of choice, or in celebrating nothing at all.
