At the airport

We are at the airport departure lounge. Whew, survived packing, getting up at 4:30AM, customs etc. Actually, the customs agent was very nice. Yesterday he worked 'til 7:30 and because of the high winds, many late flights were cancelled, with the predictable backlog this morning.

We are having our wakeup Starbuck and will wander over to the gate for 8:30 boarding. A quick nap on a 5 1/2 hour flight and the adventure begins.

The new terminal at Pearson is well laid out. Check in worked smoothly without any major hassles. One couple delayed us because they forgot to fill their customs form. There were only 5 major signs, attendants reminding "all passengers need to fill a 402 form", and these people forgot. Don't you hate that.
