We were up bright and early on Thursday for the drive into the airport. Good thing too, the highway was closed and we had to take a very interesting (yet scenic) route to the airport. We finally made it, got our luggage checked and had a not-so-nice time through security. We met some other travelers that had missed their flights due to the road closure. We were lucky we left the house early to give ourselves plenty of time!
At the gate Cailin amused herself by devouring a chocolate chip muffin and chewing on my Tim Horton's coffee cup. Maybe she got a little residual java because she was not interested in sleeping on the plane later.
Once we boarded, Cailin made friends with a little 10 month old boy in the row in front of us. They 'talked' over the seat to each other for a lot of the trip. Boy, was Cailin busy. She never sat still until naptime where she slept for a measly hour. It was so hot on the plane that we could hardly breathe. Personally, it was the longest 5 hours of my life. I'm sure Cailin felt the same.
But what a good girl she was! For how hot and cramped it was on the plane, she did wonderfully. She didn't flinch during take off or landing. She played with the seat pockets and the magazines and cards inside. She sat on the little folded down table (or stood on it when the mood suited her) and entranced the flight attendents with her cuteness. She ate the cookie they offered her. Well, most of it. For the rest that's on the floor, I'm sorry!
Eventually we landed in Halifax and got some sweet fresh air. Cailin inhaled her dinner while her dad got the luggage.
Whew! We are finally here!
