Departure Lounge

So, the Calgary Airport. We meet again. (I prefer the Edmonton airport; It has free Wi-Fi.)
My initial plan was to drive down from Edmonton this morning and then fly out. However, my parents really wanted Edmonton Farmer’s market eggs, so I drove down last night, slept over, then drove an hour to the airport this morning. This was all so I could avoid a 2-3 hour layover in Calgary if I left from Edmonton. But I’ve been wondering about that. Because it is an international flight, I am supposed to be here two hours before the flight. So maybe the long layover was necessary, and a flight would have been more efficient…
I got through all the rigamarole in less than half an hour. So now is the time when we wait.
This is why I hate flying. At least I don’t fear it; Just hate.
But this afternoon I will be spending Valentine’s day in Lala land. It beats the usual plan of going to a restaurant and glaring at the happy couples. But since I need to eat out anyway, I might just be doing that as well.
I am going for a vacation. I’ve got some friends there that I will see. I have no illusions about being “discovered”. But there is still a part of me that would think it would be cool.
