So I have a two and a half hour layover in Toronto. Inconvenient, but lucky because apparently my luggage exploded on the leg from Toronto. (Their words, not mine.) My luggage wasn’t coming down the carousel but I eventually found it in the oversize area; wrapped in a bag with my stuff strewn around inside it. It looked like the zipper had ripped apart. My suitcase wasn’t overstuffed, and the only problem would be that it was rather heavy. The three most important things were still there (my marathon medals). I was feeling stressed, so I packed everything back in and reused the zipper again. It closed, so I’ve decided to trust it for the next leg. I probably should have asked for someone to tape it shut. Or taken out my four most valuable items (the fourth is my camera with my marathon pictures). But I didn’t so now I have something to worry about.
And I have plenty of time to worry because my plane is delayed. Instead of leaving at 7:30, I’ll be leaving at 10:00. According to a WestJet employee there was bad weather in Kelowna that caused this delay. I could live with it, if there wasn’t another WestJet flight leaving at 9:00.
I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning. At 7:30 in the morning.
