Well -- I made it. I am in Alberta. I made it here around 1:30 yesterday and have been just exploring and spending some quality time with Joshua. My blog post for yesterday is going to be this one, as it was just too busy a day to get one written.
So, for today I figured that I would write a little bit about my trip yesterday. Overall the trip was a good one. We left from Halifax and made it Toronto on time, where we were actually able to get outside and have a cigarette.
We flew through Thunder Bay but we never got off of the plane! Once we landed in Winnipeg, the flight attendant told us we were 40 minutes delayed and to run quick for a smoke. We were in a city neither of us had ever been, and according to the flight attendant, the airport is relatively new.
Once we had our smoke, we ran back inside and had to go through security. Once into security, the woman not only did not want to accept our ticket, another woman pulled me aside and took a long probe looking thing and swabbed my hand, then proceeded to but the swab into some sort of machine... ALL THE WHILE NEVER TELLING ME WHAT SHE WAS DOING. She was super aggressive and pushy. I'm sorry, but I live in a free country and yes, I may be using that airport during my transit, but that doesnt give ANYONE the right to put their hands on me and refuse to tell me why she was doing this. Furthermore, there was another security person who actually made her stop and let me through -- all so stressful. They had to hold the plane for us!
Once we left there we landed in Calgary after circling the area for what seemed forever, as the roads were bad due to a minor storm in Calgary and surrounding area.
The trip was one I will never forget, and once I get over the shock of being away from the people that mean the most in the world to me, I will be ok. You know who you are, I love you!

That would bother me to, having someone grab me and just swab my hand and not say what they are doing. This reminds me of a class trip we went on in grade 6. We got to each lunch at a university I think and I paid my $5.00 dollars but one of the woman working the cash stepped out blocking me from entering and grabbed my arm (it kind of hurt) and said "Are you sure your paid?" And my teacher pulled me away and said "Yes she did" It was so weird! She was right there when I handed the other woman my money. Anyways those are stressful situations for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt will get better, the shock will fade I hope. I know I am one of those people and I feel the shock of you gone, its weird but in time it should get easier.
We will Always be best friends regardless of where in the world we're living! Can't break us down ;)
