And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west,
\nI’ll think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson, and the rest,
\nWho cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me,
\nTo race the roaring Fraser to the sea.<\/i><\/p>\n
This is what I had in mind this morning as we broke through the Rockies to find the glorious Fraser leading us to the airport. *awed*<\/p>\n
(it’s a day for being welcomed by Frasers, obviously!)<\/p>\n
Posting from YVR (free wi-fi, woohoo!) where I should no longer be. Unfortunately, the SF plane is broken, so our flight has been delayed an hour and a half. As long as I get there tonight, I refuse to be irked!<\/p>\n
The day has been going well. Taking the bus was a good idea; I got to the airport in Ottawa in exactly one hour door to door and saved 27$.<\/p>\n
US customs sucks, but what else is new? At least, I wasn’t searched, although I did have to schlepp through the security area in my bare feet (I need a shower!) and got to stand spread eagle as I was wanded over and over and over and over again and practically had to show my beeping bra strap to the attendant before she’d let me leave. LOL<\/p>\n
Geeze, I just realised it’s 6 o’clock home time and I’ve been up for over thirteen hours! It’s no wonder I’m wiped!<\/p>\n
I’ve been careful about food and keeping myself hydrated, eating regular small meals like tuna salad on the flight over and vegetarian udong here at the airport. I was glad I forgot to request a veggie sandwich for my flight over because I found that my tuna salad with crackers, carrots & dip, and chocolate bar were much better value for the prepaid 5$ voucher I’d bought. For one thing, I felt that I was enjoying a complete meal.<\/p>\n
I bought myself a snack for the SF flight, but the more this flight is delayed, the more I think that I should go get something more substantial since I hadn’t planned on having dinner till I get to Neil’s…. Now, I’m thinking of revising that plan. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
