Flight

I've been on a lot of planes. And let me just say that planes are a lot more exciting when they serve complimentary alcoholic beverages. It's not even that I love drinking alcohol, but that they would serve up such a nice perk.

It makes you feel special. Also, the small dose of alcohol kind of cradles you to sleep.

The flight was at 8:30pm, and we got there at 6pm. I thought that would leave us plenty of time to check-in and relax. But I was wrong. The line leading to the baggage check was gigantic. It extended around the regular line-up area and then wrapped around two more corners. This is definitely a first for me. I've never been in such a giant lineup before.

There apparently was only one counter open to service all international departures for Air Canada. Luckily for us, half way through they pulled all the people going to Paris into a seperate line and we promptly got on our way.

The flight is rather comfy and I guess after this update entry, I'll be heading off to bed so I have enough energy for Paris. We will be arriving around 10am. I have no idea what we'll see first, but I'm sure it will be lots of fun.

Hope you guys are enjoying the blog. And don't worry -- we will be safe.

Special Note: We will be travelling in a +6 time-zone difference to Toronto (EST).
