Montreal - picture blog

I decided to do mostly a picture blog this time because I still haven't recovered from the absolute awesomeness of this past weekend.

Brian and I started our Thursday at a lovely 4:30 AM. Our flight was at 6:40, so that should have been plenty of time, seeing how the airport doesn't even open until 5. As we were making our way to the airport, he realizes that he forgot his wallet. We made a mad dash back to the house, but thankfully, he found it a few minutes later. Even so, with leaving the house 15 minutes late and taking an eight minute u-turn, we almost missed our flight. Like to the point where they were paging us!

We arrived in Atlanta where we discovered our flight was delayed 45 minutes. No problem. Brian's brother had given us 2 club passes, so we hung out there for a while. When we get boarded though, the crew discover a missing placard. Something apparently required for flying the plane. We all waited an hour and a half for them to get it replaced. The plane took off around the time we were supposed to be arriving in Montreal. Lovely.

The plane landed around 4:30pm but of course took forever to taxi. We got to the customs line at 5 and I almost passed out. The line was LONG. And I needed to.. well, relieve my boobs in the worst way. I decided the sooner we get in line, the sooner we'd get out.

At 6:30pm, we arrive at the custom agent's booth. This was not my first time in customs, but boy did it sound like it! I actually took the lady we were meeting people we met on the internet. HELLO CRAZY! What I should have said was "We're here on vacation." Lesson learned.
