IM BACKKKK!!!

We had a van come and pick Kim and I up at the school around 3pm on Tuesday and we headed off to the airport. When we got there we were both praying that our luggage wasn't going to be too heavy so that is all that I had on my mind. Luckily they made it with no problems but then I go to check my tickets and see where I am sitting and I was at a window seat. I really wanted an aisle seat because on a 13 hour flight it is nice to be able to get up when you want and not have to bug the person next to you. I was pretty upset that I forgot to ask but was hoping that I had nice people sitting next to me.

Kim and I then went to go and grab a little bite to eat so that we weren't hungry for our flight and tried to find some books or magazines to read. We finally go to our gate and wait for them to start boarding but sadly they don't seem to be announcing much in English. All of a sudden a bunch of people start lining up and we are like oh maybe its time to line up? haha so we go and jump in line and kim shows her ticket and passport to someone and they let her through and I go right after her and they turn me away. She did this to me twice and I was so confused because we were in the same row and she was speaking Chinese so I had no idea what she meant. Luckily my third try she let me in. Turns out that Kim has the aisle seat in my row and then there is one seat in between us. We were both hoping that there would be someone friendly sitting in between us. We we nervous as each person walked by looking at the numbers but no one was coming into our seat and we started to get excited thinking that maybe we would have an empty seat in between us.

andddd luckily NO ONE came to sit there so we had an empty seat in between us for the whole 13 hour flight. We were so happy. It gave us more room to put our feet up and be comfortable. Couldn't have been happier about that.

Then we land in Toronto CANADA and we have to go in this long line for security and then we have to go pick up our luggage and then go through customs. We look at the line and realize it is so long and we aren't going to make our flight. We hop in the line and it starts moving kinda fast and finally we make it through but realize that we have like no time to make it to our gate. We start walking very fast to put our luggage on the right track to head to Moncton with us. After we do that we see on the screen that it says that our flight is delayed and we are happy because now we just might make it. Then we get in a line for security and it is going so slow but we finally make it through and run (amazing race style) to our gate. We get there sit down and are like yes we made it. Then someone comes on to announce that because of the weather in Moncton we might not be able to land there and we might be landing in Fredericton. I was so upset, after all that I just wanted to get home. We ended up sitting waiting for a while to get on our plane. Finally a while passes and we get on and sit down. Now we are excited and see the light at the end of the tunnel, but sadly we end up sitting on the plane for an hour before we leave.

Then we leave and are up in the air! Yay Moncton bound we were!! When we started landing it was bumpy and I am not going to lie I was very nervous haha but we landed safely and I ran out to meet my parents.

We start talking and waiting for our luggage. More and more luggage keeps coming out but not mine, or Kims. After about an hour of waiting to find my luggage I hear that it didn't make it on the plane so it will arrive on the plane tomorrow morning.

The morning comes and no call about my luggage arriving. So i call and try and find out where it is and the customer service guy tells me that he can't tell me where it is but it should land in Moncton shortly. After a while talking to this guy and he gives me no information I decide to drive to the airport to find out what is going on. I get there and one of my peices of luggage is there yay! but no word on my other one. I come back home and wait but still no call, but online it says that it's in its way to the destination. It is almsot 10 and still no word and then I hear from Kim that her luggage arrived and was delivered to her door. I get in the car and drive to the airport but no word on my luggage and I come home and find out that my dad has been on the phone trying to find out what is going on and he tells me that apparently they do not know where my luggage is.  : (

I am very happy to be home!! : ) But no luggage : (
Fingers crossed that tomorrow it arrives.
