YVR - 1930

Mistake #1 by the Oldies: They did not check in online! Oh dear...the line-up is horrendous to say the least. Anne and I checked in online at home this afternoon and walked straight up to the counter to throw our luggage on. Now we're just sitting in the cafeteria section, across from the native sculpture. We still have 3 hrs till the plane leaves. Pretty sure they'll make it. Love you Bev & Jack, but even if the ticket says nothing about checking in online it's usually a good idea. I guess there's always next time. 

Now it's starting to seem a little more real that I'm actually going somewhere. When I looked at Mom & Dad rolling their luggage cart through the airport, it reminded me of when I was a kid and we travelled together. I think the last time I was on a plane with my parents was when we went on our Caribbean cruise 16 years ago. Good times ahead for sure. Anne just went to check and see how far the line has moved. She just returned with good news that the Oldies only have about 10-15 minutes left in line. 

Starting to get hungry...Don't want greasy food sitting in my belly for 9+ hrs. 

Well, my next post will be from Germany. Woohoo! Rothenburg here I come!
