⏩ Going East to go West ⏪

I was up early to squeeze in a run around the Cedar Hill golf course. It was a perfect morning and surprisingly very few people were on the trail.

We got a ride to the Victoria airport with D's neighbour, where we met up with my brother. The neighbour was punctual and we were ahead of schedule. Atleast I thought we were, until I heard my niece's giggly shout calling my name from a short distance away 🧒

Westjet only flies Calgary to Tokyo, so we needed to travel East before going West across the Pacific. Our layover in Calgary was enjoyably spent in the Westjet Elevation lounge. Their table-service food and beverages are a step above the standard buffet lounges around the world. Pulled pork Bao bun, pasta and a green salad hit the spot.

Our timing was ideal as we arrived at the gate just at they were boarding our zone. The Dreamliner is a wonderful plane, even when tucked back in row 34. We were happy no one with short legs behind us to bump our seats.

Flying west over the international date line is like time travel 💫 See tomorrow's entry for the continuation of the "day."もっと詳しく
