• Arriving Calgary - Good, Bad, Ugly

    July 21, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F

    The Good - Smooth, easy flight, arrived on time. Flew through Customs in less than 10 minutes!

    The Bad - The rental car line had at least 75 people in a long line in the warm, un-air conditioned room. (Photo doesn't show how the line snakes back and forth 4 times.) It took 2 and 1/2 hours to get a car. Yikes!

    The Ugly - This morning (0445), a confluence of events conspired to create chaos. I'd had a touchy tummy for a few days, and, of course, my GI system got rowdy just as our Uber driver arrived 15 minutes early! Despite early morning darkness, rain, and being rushed, I congratulated myself on having everything totally packed and organized the night before, and being perfectly on time to the airport. At our gate, I realized I'd left my tablet plugged in at my bedside at home! 😭

    Allow me to whine. Aghhh! I had books loaded to read and I need the bigger screen to edit photos. Now, instead of a keyboard, I am pecking letter by letter at a snail's pace! (A 1st world problem, I know!)

    The good news is we'll be in scenic mountains tomorrow!
