10:30, Up For 8 Hours

Here I am on my bench in the Vancouver Airport waiting for my 2:00 PM flight to Toronto. There are many flights to TO before mine so I asked if perhaps I could get on an earlier one but the Customer Service rep reminded me that my bags would still be on the later flight. Darn! I would have no way of getting them without a long drive back to the airport.

It is not too bad though. I arrived in Vancouver just before 6:00 AM and found a long bench with no arm rests so I could stretch out and I actually slept for an hour. Hopefully I will be able to sleep some more on the flight. Give me my motorhome every time!

  1. You look so comfy. Not. :)

    I never check my bags. Too much can go wrong! Being stuck with a carry-on size also keeps me from overpacking. :)

    Have a great trip!

  2. I made the mistake of letting Norma pack my bag and she packed 35 pounds worth! That's about 4 pounds a day if I never wear anything twice.

  3. The only thing worse than napping on airport seats is napping on wooden railroad waiting room seats.

  4. We also try and avoid checking bags. Sometimes you have to, but even then we have packed as if it's carry on. Traveling light is soooo much easier.

    1. I could easily have gotten by with my backpack as a carry on. I will have to start doing my own packing!

  5. One of my past professions was working for Air Canada and I flew pretty much everywhere on my time off but I so prefer our motorhome. Hope you and your luggage get together in Toronto :)

    1. Norma worked for Pacific Western for a few years so we enjoyed a bunch of free (or almost free) vacations as well.

  6. A horizontal selfie? You may be starting a new trend. Or maybe it's just your version of 'Planking' ?

    1. I survived it but where was that guy who lived in an airport for several months because no country would accept him? I could not do that! Eight hours was enough!
