Words could not describe our excitement this morning!
After
almost 4 years being cooped up in Canada, we are finally able to travel outside
of the country!
Our first
post Covid restrictions free trip is to spend time with our grown son in the
US. In Fact, this will be our very first cruise trip with our first born.
This cruise
trip happened within a few weeks. Initially, we planned to fly to SF spending
some time hiking and camping at the Yosemite National Park. However, our son
convinced us that this might not be the best idea for a relaxing holiday to
which we suggested a cruise holiday instead. E. agreed and he even suggested a
certain cruise line and a definite date when he would be able to join us.
After some
research and back and forth discussion, here we are flying down to Miami to
board our cruise ship this Sunday!
Stan
started not feeling too well last Thursday when we were in Collingwood for a
retreat conference. He was coughing pretty badly over the weekend. We were a
bit worried that this might affect our trip. But thank God, by the time we were
to board the plane, he has recovered! We
cleaned our house and got everything ready to fly.
This was
our first plane trip since Feb, 2020, just before Canada shut down in March,
2022 due to COVID. We allowed ourselves plenty of time leaving our house at 3pm
via a transportation company. The
airport was quite busy as there were many travellers. We boarded an Air Canada
plane heading to Miami which took off at 7:55P.M. from Toronto Pearson
International Airport.
We haven’t
flown on any Air Canada jets for a little while. I noticed that the flight
attendants were quite a bit younger. All the attendants working on our flight
are under thirty years old. Of the crew of four, two were male and two were
female. As far as I remember, Air Canada flight attendants were mostly women,
in their middle 40’s. It was different this time. Also include in this crew, I
am pretty sure there was a member of the LGBTQ.
We will be flying
a lot in the next two months. It will be interesting to see if the demographics
of the flight attendants of American airlines will be the same, or as tolerant
and diverse as our Canadian crew members.
