TALLY HO AND AWAY WE GO

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

No words can express the gratitude I feel. My heart is full.

Off to the airport. Uber.

Ok. Obviously a tad bit different that yesterday.

Definitely not Economy.

What? You’ve got to be kidding!

Air Canada Signature Service.

Air Canada Signature Service (as it says per their website) ensures a seamless airport experience with dedicated check-in counters, expedited security clearance, lounge access, exclusive boarding lanes, priority baggage handling and more.

Check in:

So quick and easy. Not. A few issues at security but all worked out.

Then off to relax and eat in the Air Canada Signature Suite. Oh my.

It’s a luxury suite that features complimentary à la carte dining with dishes, a buffet, a bar menu that includes Moët & Chandon champagne and cocktails featuring Diageo spirits, personalized concierge service and Molton Brown care products.

Hmmm. Two glasses of champagne, corn soup, flat iron steak, and lemon olive oil cake with pistachio ice cream. So very good.

And people really travel like this all the time? Unbelievable. Off to the lounge for a Baileys on the rocks. We have a looooong time to departure. Plane delayed by over three hours. Then lots of water.

Three hours + delay but finally

Time to board the plane.

Oh my goodness.

This is mine for the flight. Can you believe it? Spoiled or what.

Executive Pod with lumbar support and massage function, which converts to a fully flat bed: up to 203.2 cm (6′ 7″) long.

They think of everything.

A sanitized and clean pillow, duvet and mattress pad packaged together, plus an amenity kit with hand cream and lip balm for inflight hydration plus an oversized eye mask, socks, dental kit, glasses cloth, and 3M earplugs.

And in addition to that there’s a CleanCare+ kit containing a mask, antiseptic wipes, and hand sanitizer. Headsets are available and a water bottle is provided pre-departure.

In flight entertainment.

Hundreds of hours of top-rated entertainment on a personal touchscreen entertainment system—movies, music, TV, podcasts, audio books and more, gate to gate. 

Plus, with every Business Class booking, get complimentary access to 7,000+ magazines and newspapers through the PressReader app on your own device.

And food. Lots of it.

I marked my choices.
Tomorrow morning’s offering.

Unsure of how the flight and sleeping will go. But I certainly couldn’t ask for better accommodations. Spoiled. Spoiled. Spoiled.

Please don’t think I’m bragging. I’m just so overwhelmed by it all that I haveto share my once in a lifetime experience with you.

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work. She has, for the most part, retired from this very successful music career. But really, does one ever retire from music? I think not. So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.
