Canadaman Adventures: Airport Adventures

Well we arrived at the Ottawa Airport WAY to early as the ticket counter wasn't even open. While waiting in line we met a nice lady from Ottawa who had a daughter who went to Lakehead like Laura. What a small world we live in.
After getting all our boarding passes we headed off to customs. The "random" selector said that we had to head over to the long line for extra checking. I guess that Laura looked sketchy.
With customs behind us we waited till we were called for flight #1 - Ottawa to Chicago

Our first flight we sat beside a lovely lady who was very positive and loved to talk. This made the flight from Ottawa to Chicago go quickly.

Once we landed it was off to our next gate (though we had 1.5 hours to till the next flight it was just enough time to find somewhere to eat and get to our gate. We really liked the Chicago Airport. There seemed to be something for everyone – shops, any type of food you want (I didn’t have time to stop at the caramel apple store but for sure I’ll be heading there on my way home), toilets that produced their own seat covers (check out the video below) and you could even get your flu shot if you had forgotten.

The flight to LA was more eventful than the last flight. We sat beside a man who was from Whales but lived in LA. They had some TVs on this airplane so we watched The Sorcerers’ Apprentice. The only problem was that it was FREEZING on the flight! That’s right the flight seemed to have no heat at all. We were sitting in the exit seat so that was more leg room for Laura but less heat for me.

Waiting in the LA airport wasn’t as interesting as Chicago. We were really tired so we got some food (Maccers) and just hung out. When the plane got there (15 minutes late) we all got on for some fun.

We were lucky to get the last seat in the aisle on the side of the plane. This made it possible for Laura to get up and walk around in the big space behind us. As the flight went on we watched 3 movies, got some sleep and chatted with the girl beside us.
