Zack makes himself very at home on all airplanes…
After our 10 hour Gatwick to Canada Z man requests an audience with the pilot to collect his reward…a pair of wings. Funny how he thinks that is just the norm now.
Cute kids and MOUNTAINS!!!!
We enjoyed a very long two hour bonding time with the Canadian boarder patrol. Ugh. In Gatwick our flight was full so they offered to check any carry on luggage. We happily handed over 4 of them! Unfortunately we were also the special family that the printer broke on. No worries…they will just hand write the tags. Great! NO! NOT GREAT! That means that no one can do their job because the system is so automated when they don’t have a barcode to scan they don’t know what to do! Two hours later, and an awesome West Jet employee later (she walked over to the tarmac, hand picked up our luggage, printed new tags, and got us a $75.00 airport food voucher for being so patient) we were on our way. To celebrate we quickly ate dinner/lunch/breakfast (who knows our clocks were so messed up) on the floor, in the terminal, before hopping on our last 6 hour flight.
Side note, we got Tim Hortons (think sandwich/donut fast food place) for six people and six donuts. Wanna guess how much it cost? $74.58. Yep, we aren’t cheap! The voucher was super appreciated!
WE MADE IT! Aloha everyone!
Best quote award goes to Zack. “Mom – why did we even come here…it looks just like England!” (we arrived at 10pm….it was dark….so it was just like England. You’ll be happy to know he has since changed his mind)
Also, we took off around 1:30 pm from London...and landed at 3:00 pm in Canada. That's trippy.
