REALLY? REALLY?

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong

Murphy’s Law

And that’s where I am today.

Months ago I booked my flights to go home for Christmas. I knew I’d only be in Gulf Shores for a week and a half before flying back but I hadn’t wanted Richard to drive down by himself.

So up this morning at 3:00 am and on the road to the airport in Pensacola, Florida for a 6:45 am flight. Richard’s a great guy. Up early with me and then driving both ways in the dark. I checked in yesterday online so this morning was a breeze. I did go to the counter as I was unsure if they needed to see anything. But nope. All good. I have a Nexus card but at security I didn’t see a special line for it. Thankfully there weren’t many going through security so that was quick. Of course I’m wearing my mask and hand sanitizing. I care about those back home and am trying to reduce the risk of bringing illness back with me. Around me what do I see? Grrrr. I counted eleven other people wearing masks in the airport. Really? Really? Unbelievable.

First leg: Pensacola to Houston, Texas. Made it in fine time. About 10 minutes early. My next flight doesn’t leave until 2:30pm (was only 8:30am when I arrived). Full flight. That’s what happens when you use travel points. You have to take what’s offered. Guess I shouldn’t complain as it was a very low cost to me. Looked for earlier flights but there were none. Not much to do but wait. And wait. And wait. And count masks. Saw fourteen. Oh my.

Second leg: Houston to Toronto, Ontario. Full flight. Thought we were leaving on time but sat in the plane for an hour due to bad weather delaying our departure. Plus side we left. Minus side two hours of turbulence. Plus side last twenty minutes into Toronto were smooth. Yay. Was worried as it was forecasting lightening and I wasn’t sure if that would delay or cancel my flight but it worked out well.

Third leg: Toronto to Charlottetown, PEI. The dreaded text message. Flight cancelled. I assumed that would happen as there’s a snow storm there. Rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Plus side I get a visit with my daughter and son in law. What a sweetie. Coming to get me at the airport and then driving me back tomorrow. So this is TBC until tomorrow.

I have no idea if this post even makes sense. I’m exhausted.
