As I sit in the airport preparing for the first of several flights, the stomach has an unusual feeling about it. So many new things, everything from Brendon dropping me off at the door, to getting my boarding passes, to signing onto wireless for the first time. It feels like I've never done these things before.
A couple hours to take off. I sit waiting for a familiar face as we make this journey together. Last minute notes to compare, apprehensions to settle, and interests to discuss. Seems all so like a dream.
Security and boarding passes create no hitches and the flight is off to Winnipeg. A quick flight change, meet some new coaches and again in the air to Ottawa.
Our flight gets in a little later than scheduled but still good time to have a good rest tonight....if one can sleep that is. But we must try as it's getting close to midnight local time and seeing as I will be operating on everyone's local time for the next few weeks.....I'm calling it a night.
Day 1 in complete!
