Plane Ride to Vancouver - Wednesday, 11, 2010


We woke up really early this morning to catch our flight but who would have known that we would arrive at the airport half an hour early. We had predicted that there would be a lot of traffic to the airport but it turns out we were wrong. So we stood in the Terminal 1 of the airport with our bags and luggages on the ground waiting for our group members to arrive. It was a long wait. Then we checked-in our luggages with the Group Check-in area which was at the underground level. I never knew there was an underground level. Our counsellor had suggested us to tie up our straps on our backpacks because it may get caught and break as the workers try and yank out the strap. Many of our group members forgot to tie up the straps on our back packs. And so they had to roll plastic wrapping all over their bags to prevent the straps from dangling around. We were smart though, we used a large, clearless plastic bag and put it over our backpack. It was very easy and got the job done.

Before our plane ride, I went to Starbucks to get a drink. I got a vente(large) coffee. But when I received the drink, it was black coffee and there was no milk and sugar. I got desperate and asked the cashier to give me sugar and milk. It turns out that milk and sugar was on the side and at our disgression. I put a lot of sugar and salt and I also grabbed lotsa plastic tubes to play with on my plane ride. On the plane ride, I spilt my coffee and my coke and my jeans were pretty wet. Good thing the person beside me didn't get wet too much but they still got a little wet. I felt bad for them. On the plane ride, I watched Date Night and She's Out of My League. They were pretty nice movies and I was about to start Iron Man 2 before our plane was over. Darn!!! I promised myself I will finish Iron Man 2 next time!!
