2:15pm – left house. We had this crazy deaf taxi driver put on this prayer music super loud. Taxi driver by day, rabbi by night is exactly what I thought of when I first saw him lol. He didn’t want my dad to sit in the front because his hat and tallis[sp?] were on the front seat. Obvi people are less important than clothes aha.
3:00pm – arrive at the airport. We almost left my grandmas suitcase in the car. My mom was being paranoid and complaining that the plane would be delayed. My superstition kicked in and I started getting angsty because she was saying bad things lol. The day we leave there’s this giant snowstorm. We get to our gate at like 3:30ish.
3:30pm – I love starbucks. It saved my life, thankgod for giftcards. Caramel macchiato and a chocolate croissant. Mmm. So far our planes on time J.
4:51pm – ilia texts to say he’s here at the airport, 30 minutes before we’re supposed to board, then they announce that our plane took a detour to Montréal. WTF. New flight time is 7. woopdeedoo.
5:30pm – see ilia. He goes to his gate, we have different planes (I’m pretty happy about that otherwise I would be preening like a female peacock or something) lol I’m funny ehee. Flight delayed again until like 8:45 L
6:00pm – me, my dad, and my brother play poker with no money. I write down points/money on paper lol. My brother owns and my dad says eh should buy a lottery ticket; too bad he’s only 12.
7:00pm go have dinner. My mom accidentally picked the most expensive place. we lost my grandma for a while, but she found us. Ilia msgs saying he’s looking for a 40 (vodka) I see him walk by, quite awkward, and we’re eating like right across from where they’re sitting. I have a chicken quesadilla. Flipping amazing.
7:10pm – ilia’s plane leaves and we’re still stuck in the airport for another 2ish hours. Joy. Oh and btw, our planes were supposed to leave at the same time.
8:45pm – begin boarding, take off at 9:32pm. Flight time: 3 hours 3 minutes.
10:30pm – chicken chow mein. No joke. Fkn amazing. Real food, in a box. Lol I’ve never had Chinese plane food before. we got fortune cookies. Mine said ‘easy life on the beach’ than we watched Fred Claus. Greatest plane ride.
