Enroute - October 25
Our good bye tour was great, lots of visiting , several glasses of wine shared with family and friends.
This morning at 5 am Ian drove the four of us to YEG without incident. Had an uneventful flight to Vancouver and spent a couple of hours enjoying breakfast in the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge (thanks to our niece Tanya who scored the admission passes) Met some folks in the Vancouver airport from Bentley, on their way to Las Vegas, its a small world after all!
We loaded ourselves onto the big bird and left Vancouver at 11 am. There are 38 rows, with a 2-3-2 configuration. Executive Class looked quite divine, by the way!
At any rate our seats are the aisle seats in the center of row 34, we were hopeful that the seat between us would be vacant. There are 9 empty seats on this plane and one of them is between Sid and I. Jackpot! Love love love it when a plan comes together. It is a 12 hour flight.
The back of the plane loaded first (that was us) so we watched the rest of the folks seat them selves and try to find space in the overhead bins for their carry on baggage . Oh my goodness. The folks making decisions about what is an allowable carry on need to spend sometime watching the process unfold on board.
We are flying north, and crossed the south west part of Alaska. The map shows that we are near the international date line, my guess is that we are about 15 minutes away from tomorrow. Shanghai time is 15 hours ahead of us, we are scheduled to arrive at 2 pm October 26.
