Vacation Part 1

Yesterday was the official start to my vacation. I managed to get very little sleep the night before...perhaps I was too excited. After procrastinating with a little paper toss (get it free for your ipod or iphone!!) and yahtzee I managed to crawl out of bed and head to Walmart for a few last minute items (read: Original KD for my cousin). I was treated to a very nice lunch and then headed home to begin my packing. I began around 2pm and was finally finished at 6pm. I did stop for a chat with dad and a little spider solitaire in there too.

By 7pm I was completely ready with clothes put away and my suitcases sitting by the door. All my documents were packed right where they were suppose to be and things were looking good for the morning.

I awoke 5 minutes before my alarm went off, had a shower, and double checked everything. I headed out the door just before 6am...flight left at 7:15am so plenty of time. I arrived at the airport and sat in my car eating my scrumptous sausage and egg mcmuffin and apple juice. OK, time to get checked in! WHERE THE HELL IS MY TRAVEL FOLDER?????!!!!! Yeah, that's right, somewhere between my front door and the airport I lost the travel folder with my preprinted boarding passes for my 2nd and 3rd flights as well as all the other info like my itereraries and such. I decided to go check in because I had duplicates of the itineraries. After check in I raced home, grabbed my duplicate boarding passes and raced back only to arrive at the airport and freak out becasue I couldn't find my passport!!!

OK, at this point I was freaked, but thought there was no way I could have lost it. I made a brief panicked call to Bruce to see if he could see it and then decided to board anyway. As I was standing in security checking for loose change I found my passport. It was in my back pocket!!! I was the last to board the plane, but I arrived well in Edmonton. They had banana bread on the plane...yummmm...things are looking up!! I now have a long wait for my flight to Montreal.
