I am leaving on a jet plane…

I have a rough idea of when I’ll be back again.

Editor’s note: This post was started on Sunday evening (July 9) at the Vancouver airport, and completed on Monday in the locations listed below.

Wow. It’s already been a full month and a bit since Tommy and I started dating. He’s still as sweet as ever! A couple of weeks ago, he and I went to Playland for the evening (Playland being the local amusement park/fairgrounds). As I’m sure a few of you know, I’m not overly fond of the faster rides (spinny, twirly, or droppy). Well, at Tommy’s urging, I went on the log ride with him. Six or so rides of it later... :) Toss in a couple of rounds on some of the slightly, although not overly spinny rides, and it was a load of fun. *grin*

One of the things I like the most about Tommy is the fact that he has a good head on his shoulders. We can play a game of chess, or have a REALLY good conversation on a ton of different topics. w00t!

In other news, I’m typing this post (for later posting) in the lobby of my Edmonton hotel. The company I work for has sent me here for two days (Sun night to Tues night) for a training seminar. I have to admit that I’m rather impressed. The seminar actually has some GOOD content in it and isn’t a waste of time! *shock and awe* The REALLY cool part of this trip is that I asked my boss to extend my return flight back by two nights so that I could spend a couple of evenings with family. I wish that I could be here longer so that I can spend more time with friends and family, but that isn’t an option. *cries* But, on the whole, this is turning out to be a good trip.

Anyways, I’ve gotta bugger off for dinner. Catch ya later, and I’ll be back on Thursday evening.

Back from dinner, and I have time to continue the post before I go to bed.

Time for some more about the trip here. Getting here was a mild adventure. Read: Exercise in frustration. Alberta was experiencing a nice assortment of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and other similar fun stuff. As such, air travel through a good chunk of western Canada (and a bit of the US) was delayed. Our plane (Air Canada) was supposed to leave at about 7:15pm. Our plane was coming in from Calgary, and the weather delayed it. As such, we didn’t take off until about 830pm. However, the flight was fun! We had some turbulence to keep things entertaining (I rather enjoy the bumps and shakes of turbulence). As if that wasn’t enough, we went right through a thunderstorm during our descent into Edmonton. During said storm, the wingtip was hit by a few lightning zaps. THAT was cool!! :) Another upshot was that the flight crew did a good job.

After dinner (a few of us went to West Edmonton Mall), I spent a couple of hours hanging out with Sherri. Things are going great for her, and I am INCREDIBLY happy about that! She definitely deserves to have some good karma events in her life. She’s such an awesome person. Leaving from her place sucked the big suck. I miss her so much, and it’s only been an hour since we parted.

On that note, I’m going to bed.
