The three of us left Vancouver at 10:50pm (PT) last night and arrived at 6:30am (ET) this morning...which translates to approximately a 4 hour and a half hour flight/nap... except now it's morning, and the 4 crying babies that were on the plane with us made sleeping really difficult.
Points of interest:
Security checked Earl's ultra-streamline laptop, but didn't bother with my Apple iBook. I don't know whether to feel complimented or insulted by that.
I managed to sneak "over 150 mL" of toothpaste onto the plane in my carry-on.
Ernest asked Earl how many people he thought would be attending the UBC T-Birds vs Regina Cougar hockey game at GM Place (before they show the Canucks/Leafs game on the Jumbotron)? Earl answered, "900. Which will break the previous CIS attendance record of 300."
While waiting for our baggage, we saw a guy wearing a yellow Tony Tanti Canucks jersey! Very nice! Also, Ernest is going to wear that hideous green Seahawks toque for the entire trip, or, and more likely, until the Shithawks lose to Chicago tomorrow. More on football in a future entry.
We rented a Buick Rendezvous, which is quite comfortable, and now extra stylin' with our canucks magnet on the side. By 9 o'clock have already checked in to the Mariott on Yonge Street. After watching a little soccer (Liverpool leading Watford 3-0), finishing this update and taking a nap, we are off to breakfast and the Hockey Hall of Fame.
