Travelling comes with its own forms of troubles … and sometimes they just cause delays ! Seems that this time we blew a tire … not “our” car – but our plane. Yes! That is right … apparently the plane got a flat landing in Tampa which caused us a minor delay (about an hour) before heading out Phoenix. Well … since we had a one hour layover before heading to Vancouver we sprinted from gate A to gate B (~ 2+ blocks) in hopes of … ahh … nope … we’re late. BY ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND 30 SECONDS !!!!!
Well, with all other flights booked for the next 9 hours we were stuck til 7:30PM. And it soon became apparently what a lack of sleep does to Melissa (not to mention how well she knows how to manipulate Customer Service). America West set us up in a hotel for the day – and we needed it. Melissa had been running on nothing since nerves left her unable to sleep the night before. Then what do we wake up to … but half the country without power! What was funny was watching CNN as they reported that some US cities and Canada was without power. Seems someone has not looked at a map lately – just to make things clear … only southern Ontario was without power, leaving 3 territories and 9 provinces to make popcorn and watch the show.
Anyways … by 10:30 PM PST we arrived in Vancouver and after a good night sleep we are perpared to enjoy Byrons final hours as a free man. Hopefully I will have some pictures to post after tomorrows festivities.
Byron, enjoy the last few hours of being single! You will look back on them fondly … both Melissa and I wish you and Tracy the best in the years to come.
