Loads of time, you&apos;d think. Of course not! The check-in counters weren&apos;t manned yet, and people were still in line from all the weather cancelled flights from the 23rd. To make a long and tedious story short, I checked-in at 5:30, passed the security checkpoint in 5:45 (with every square inch of my body beeping &#8211; even my wallet, a new one for me) and finally sat down in the plane for 5:55. We were an hour late for liftoff.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto-Pearson was a blur. We got there, had to rush to take a shuttle to get to the right gate. I just had enogh time to stop at the duty-free for a bottle of scotch for Katy&apos;s dad before making it to the gate. My flught was scheduled to leave at 9, I sat down at 8:45. We finally ended up taking off 1h45 min late. Urgh.<\/p>\n<p>What can I say about the trip. It was long. I ate the food I&apos;d packed, listened to all my pink floyd albums on minidisc and watched I,Robot. Got to Heathrow, breezed through customs and baggage claim and saw my sweetie. As a side note, Heathrow has the politest elevators I&apos;ve ever seen. After a drive where Katy, her dad and her uncle scared me with children TV show references, we got to her place and promptly went to bed (that&apos;s my story and I&apos;m sticking to it). <\/p>\n<p>This morning was spend watching Jeff eat breakfast cereal (I have to say it, the little rat is kyooooote) and opening presents. Yay, presents :D I&apos;ll write more later. Now is time for food and drink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel is a pain.
