I got up at 6:30 am, showered and got some last minute stuff ready.

I took Willow to Superdog Central, where she would be staying, for 9:00. She didn't seem upset to see me go, and I wasn't upset to leave her, I knew she was in good hands.

I got to mom's for 10:30 as the guys were already working on the apartment (my landlords were redoing my kitchen while I was away), and there was nothing for me to do but get in the way. I spent an hour at mom's and then we left.

We switched cars again in Ajax and made it to the airport for just after 1:00. Check in was easy as there was no one there yet, but the girl gave bad directions and I had a hell of a time finding the gate. Once I found where I was supposed to be the rest was easy. Ironically the gate was number 525 and we were taking off at 5:25.

We boarded the plane and waited. Who was gonna sit beside me? Well, it ended up being this older fellow, 71 he said, he was nice, but very chatty, full of jokes and riddles. I did manage to get about four hours sleep on the plane over, and had lovely conversations with the girls next to us.
