Current location: Gate D41, Toronto Airport, boarding the LAST PLANE OF THE TRIP
Spaniard time: 23:49 (11:49 PM) Toronto time: 5:49 PM Seattle time: 2:49 PM
Run! Run! Run! We just caught the final boarding call for our plane. Whew!
Toronto is strange: they made us pick up our luggage from baggage claim for the previous plane, then re-check it for our current plane. Not normal for a connecting flight, but if that's what it takes to get home, so be it!
The girls and I joked that when people ask in the future, "What was the hardest part of your trip?" We can answer, "Returning home." But not because we weren't comfortable with leaving: it's because, every time we tried, we couldn't get to our gates very easily!
So, as a result, it's been an exhausting day. I'm so ready to get to Vancouver, be greeted by my Ben, and spend the weekend adventuring with him in the city and mountains there! Just four hours to go!
Love, Natalie
The Last Flight
FINALLY on the last frakkin' plane ride. That layover was dumb as hell... Stupid no wifi. The view from the plane's isle seat of Bangkok as we were flying away from it was incredible, wish I was able to grab a pic, but couldn't due to the two people in between me and the window. Also- I took a very short nap, and we're about to land! WHATTUP!?!
