So, Dan is in the air...the plane left a few minutes late.....about 11 minutes actually....Laurie and I think we even heard his plane fly over our house as we were leaving for our run around that time! It was too cloudy to see the plane though.....
Dan had problems with his luggage...his case was waaaaay over weight. He could only take one case because he had his guitar with him...so we kept taking things out of his case (well, actually it was our case as his case was too small...) but even after taking out all the gifts and magazines etc it was still overweight.
So he had a choice...leave the guitar behind and take two cases....or leave behind a LOT of 'stuff'. This was obviously a very difficult choice for him, but he decided to leave the guitar and take all the things he had bought/ gifts/ clothes etc.....
He eill either find out how much it is to ship his guitar...or hope that his brother will take it back in July or we will aask Lloyds friend very nicely if he will take it back and drop it to Daniel in August.....(Lloyds friend drives via Yeovil weekly for work)
We ALL took Dan to the airport......it was sad but good fun....Dan and I checked the suitcases (Dan impressed me with how he appeared like an experienced traveller!!) The lady at Air Canada asked him if he had had a good visit and he said yes, very good and that he would be back!!
Lloyd parked the car and then brought all the children in to say goodbye...we went up to watch the airplanes for a while and then we had fun watching the security checks...there are big glass windows overlooking where passengers get security checked.....you can't film it but you can watch.....it was funny deciding which should be checked further and Susie was enlightened as to what 'the rubber glove treatment' was (lol).......so we went back downstairs to hug Dan goodbye and then raced back upstairs to watch him go through security...but TYPICAL..he got sent over tot he channel underneath us so we couldn't see...so then we stood and watched him come out the other end by the stores and gates.....he took ages in security - Dan what happened?????? Did YOU get the rubber glove treatment????????? roflmao!! We watched him walk into INdigo's (bookstore) and he disappeared into the back of the store, so we left.......
Took the kids to McDonalds.....I ordered a fruit and yoghurt parfait.....waited and waited...they said they had run out so they'd make me one........waited more....sent Chris to get it....he comes back and says oh they have none so they will make you one....uh yes thats what they said AGES ago.......
Finally my parfait comes out.....and the fruit is FROZEN SOLID!!!!!! I am so pissed now!
Anyway, everyone else happily ate.
So Dan has gone...we shouted goodbye as we drove back up Calgary Trail to Airport Road.
I will really miss Dan.....girly, camp Dan (sorry personal joke lol...its just he likes bags and shoes lol! He's such a metrosexual!!!!)
BUT I don't have to share my Mac computer anymore!!!!!
