Homeward bound and blogging at 30,000 feet

Well, the trip is over. I’m on the Air Canada flight home. We just took off about ten minutes ago, and I should be hugging my boyfriend in about 90-100 minutes. *grins* From what the pilot said before take off (expect a smooth flight), the weather is going to be just spiffy for the entire flight home. I have to admit that some rain and what-not would be cool because I actually enjoyed the bump and bounce of turbulence, and the pyro lightning show was amazing to watch.

Let’s see… Having spent Monday evening with Sherri, I spent Tuesday in the seminar, and then the evening was spent with my family. I got to see a Brit Comedy that I had never heard of. It’s called “My Family”. It was really funny, and the mother is played by the actress who plays the flying instructor/Quiddich ref in the Harry Potter movies. Gotta see if I can get it on the channels at my place (it was on PBS Detroit). I crashed on their sofa for the night. Not the greatest plan in the world. Like any sofa, it’s great for cat-naps. A full night’s sleep? Not so much. I was able to borrow my parent’s car so that I could putter around town while my dad was at work. I spent a couple of hours at the west end store and chatted with a bunch of people that I haven’t seen in about 13 months. At noon, I abducted a couple of them and went out to meet Jasmine for lunch at Dadeo. It was a WONDERFUL time! The jokes and fun insults were as if I never even left. We were just as goofy as I was the last time we all hung out.

*blogging briefly interrupted by the flight crew distributing snacks and drinks*

The evening was spent with my “adopted” family having a really yummy fondue and some wine. Cheese & bread, meat & vegetable broth, followed up with chocolate & fruit for dessert. Oh, and of course, we had the much needed bottles of red wine to go with it. I crashed there for the night (in a REAL bed). This morning/afternoon was spent with my “adopted” mom. We went for lunch at Dadeo (it’s not a restaurant. It’s an addiction), and sat around chatting for a bit before heading to the airport.

A trip through airport security, and I’m on the plane. Now we’re at now. And I really don’t have much more to say about anything, really, because not much of anything is happening. Oh, two in-flight observations. One: airplane tray tables aren’t designed for laptop computers (unless you have one of those really tiny, really expensive ones). Two: It’s somewhat amusing just how many laptops you see on a mid-day/early evening flight like this (takeoff time was about 5:30pm MTN time). Arrival at YVR is about 6:15PM, PST. Not bad for an hour and some-odd flight. ;-)

An odd thought just occurred to me. I should load up a porn-ish picture or movie (Queer as Folk, anyone?) just to see if I can make people squirm. *evil grin*

Well, that basically sums up my “day in the life-ish post” for my trip. See you soon!
