I made it to Canada at 1am Canada time this morning. It was a very long day, took 31 hours from when I left my Melbourne house to when I got to my parents place. My plane got delayed another hour on top of the 3 hours it was already delayed. The original plane had a fuel leak. The new plane had 2 flat tires they had to fill up.
Then I missed my second plane to Toronto from LA because I had to go through American customs, which was stupid because I was only passing through the airport. When I got to the counter to check in for my second flight they lady told me I was on standby because the flight was over booked! If I wasn't put on that flight then I had to wait 6 more hours and get in at 5am Canada time. I was really worried, so I begged the flight attendant to put me on the plane. They finally agreed. THEN that plane was delayed an hour. It was a terribly long day. I was so tired that when I saw my parents at the airport I just burst into tears! They thought something was wrong with me, but I was just so relieved that I finally made it.
Today I've had the lovely experience of travel sickness to deal with- but who cares because my momma is taking cae of me (clearly the best part about being at home). I'll spend a week here with my parents before I head up to Kingston to visit my brother and then on to Ottawa to reunite with my friends and my BFF. This promises to be an exciting month at home, where I'll have nothing to do but visit with people and play tourist in my home towns.
That's all for now *cough cough*
I'll write again once I do something more exciting than defeat jet lag
