Crusher's Trip Report - Jan 2014

Well we arrive at the airport around 4AM this morning. Its amazing how easy it is to get out of bed when you know you are heading to the airport for another Negril Fix!! We ran into some friends in the airport who were going to Mexico...sucks to be them....and another who is heading to the US Virgin Islands.

We managed to beat the rush to security and were through in a breeze. Others weren't so lucky as there was only one line open. With the amount of flights booked to leave this morning that's not good news! I sat back and enjoyed some Tim Horton's and watched people with anguished looks on their faces as the line went as slow as I have ever seen it in our airport.

We relaxed put some posts on Facebook to torture our friends who are not coming with us this year and enjoyed our comfortable wait in our easy chairs we procured. Our flight was on time and it was half empty so there was room for my wife to actually lay down in an row by herself. She had the BIGGEST smile as she drifted back off to sleep after we got in the air. There was a funny incident on the plane where a woman put her bag up in the overhead, as a man asked her to make sure she didn't put it on his jacket, of course she did. The guy stands up and pulls her bag out and tosses it in the aisle, leans over and has some choice words for her. Its amazing how rude some complete strangers can be to each other. The flight attendant quickly calmed them down and said its way tooooo early for this people!

We arrived in Toronto and I quickly hit the duty free for Crown Royal and cigarettes for our friend. She smokes a tonne in Jamaica so I bought a couple of cartons for her. She's going to buy more when she arrives on Tuesday. I could understand if it was cigars but cigarettes? lol!

We found an English Pub and I am currently sitting here enjoying free wifi and some pints of Alexander Keith's. We will be in Mobay around 7:30 and it looks like there aren't a lot of flights arriving at that time so we are pretty sure its going to be a breeze through customs and immigration.

Hope everyone is doing well and I will try and keep up the posts and take tonnes of pictures!! One Love my friends Negril soon come! :)

And so it begins...

Looking forward to it - hope your 2nd flight goes as well as your first!

They are having some technical issues and some weather issues in Eastern Canada but our flight still says its on time. That's what happens when you are shaped like Buddha you get lucky a lot! :)

Safe travels Crusher. It's on the news that Pearson was having problems with their computer software and the line ups were ridiculous checking in. Sounds like that didn't slow you guys down one bit.

No we are leaving from the same terminal as we arrived in so didn't have to touch luggage or clear security again. Its all irie in TO! :)

So CC you left at 4am and don't get to MoBay until 7:30 pm. Wow, that's a long day. You'll be drunk quick tonight :-)

Safe travels!!

Crusher, too bad your flts didn't bring you Regina-Winnipeg-MoBay...as AC does a direct out of Wpg Saturday mornings. However, Westjet probably had a better price...
Either way you're on your way to heaven.
Enjoy!
