Not sure what happened to my original post this morning. Composing these babies from my iPod touch, and it's not in my drafts, or outbox, though it didn't seem to have made it to my blog when I checked before boarding.
Currently heading for a stopover in Ottawa, before the plane continues to my final destination in Halifax. While I'm totally used to flying, it's been ages since I've been in a plane this small - don't remember the last time I was on a plane where you could see the propellers. It's super loud, and kinda narrow - I'm really glad I went with checking my carryon. Which actually worked out fabulously, as I kinda spaces out on the entire liquids as carryon thing - it would have sucked to lose all my hair stuff.
Totally enjoying my first time flying with porter. At the moment, enjoying the complimentary meal service - cranberry muffin, and organic yogurt. The yogurt is higher fat than I'm used to, but the apple blackberry flavor is yummy. But I'm getting ahead of myself. The good times started earlier though. After I made my way to union station, I caught a porter shuttle (pickup outside west doors of the Royal York), and then the porter ferry (fantastic view - pity the sun wasn't up yet. Though I did catch sunrise on the plane, over the island and the city which was spectacular) to end up at the airport. Where the fabulosity of porter continued - traveling with lounge access is always fun. I bypassed the comfy seats straight for a little table right by the espresso machine. Managed to down two lattes, cookies and orange juice before boarding my flight.
Though it's just past 8 as I'm writing this, I've been up for ages already - not quite sure what I was thinking booking such an early departure. Amy's wedding - the reason I'm traveling to Halifax for the weekend - isn't until tomorrow afternoon. Though I suppose maximizing my time in Halifax would be good? Hopefully the weather (not to mention the work I brought with me - September is always super busy) allows some time for sightseeing before I head home on Sunday. I've been to Halifax before but it's been a few years.
I missed traveling - and blogging for that matter. My hotel has complimentary wifi (main reason I chose it - to feed my own need to stay connected, but also because of all the work I have to do. So expect sporadic posts throughout the weekend.
