My seat was an aisle seat.. Surprisingly not as bad as I thought. I always feel like a jerk when I want to pee every 5 minutes & make my seat mates move so.. That was a plus!
They fed us! Surprisingly well! Tasted better than Daley Dining hall food, so that's saying somethin!! AND they gave me a free bottle of wine! A mini bottle, but still.
A few things about Canadian Air... They like to give us free tv and music (like United) but only the oddest of shows and the weirdest of music... The "hits" station played eminem's Lose Yourself followed by Santa Baby.. Not sure if they mean current hits.. Or music hits across your life time!?
Other than that.. I got about 2 hours of sleep collectively.. Partly my fault since the built in headrest / tv was sitting right there.. Waiting to be played with..
The man I sat next to watched me draw on the plane (thank you Ginette)... He asked me about art.. And said Cherrio a lot.. which I thought was absolutely adorable
-- I got off the plane, stood In a forever line for customs & realized I didn't know Tasha's address.. Which is crucial to pass security.
They asked me my friends "ethnicity" .. I said American? She gave me a dumbfounded look.. I was like ya know, United States of America?! She's like you're in Britian. What does she do here.. "Oh, her dad works for the military.. " what base!? "Oh.. I have no idea.. Never met him..." Are they picking you up? "Yup! I hope so"
I'm surprised they let me through ...
I found Tasha, past the baggage claim.. With a bright yellow slouchy beanie.. To go perfectly with my neon orange bro tank ha.
Can I tell you how weird it is to drive on the wrong side of the road?? Not only that, but also sit in the "drivers seat" and not have a steering wheel?? And shift with your LEFT hand. Just strange. I flinched every time we passed a car. Between that and passing out every 30 minutes from exhaustion.. It was an eventful ride home. I was dillusional and car sick.
We got to her house & she made craft Mac & cheese. Yum. I ended up passing out after .. Tasha had to go to work.. And when I woke up I stumbled to the kitchen to get water..
..Where I met her dad.. Who is AWESOME. Like hands down. Cool.
Her family is great and we had fantastic conversations & by the time Tasha came home, George (father) made me eggs & meat? & toast & salad.. I showered in between then because I smelled like a sewer. Just so you know..
Look how tasty!! They have such a cute house :) it's so British.. By the way.. Do you know the difference between Great Britian, England, and the UK.. We didn't.. Google is great.
Alright.. It's 2:36 am.. I need sleep. I'll update on today's adventures tomorrow!!
After reading this I am surprised they let you in the country too! lol Happy they did, but still surprised. We have been at Lara and Bill's for the week. Kids have been swimming and having fun. We miss and love you.
