Waiting & blogging

Happy Holidays!! I am so excited for today as I am leaving for my trip to Antigua for 2 weeks. It is a much needed break. This semester felt like it flew by while also being incredibly stressful. With so many things happening in my personal, school, and work life this trip will provide the relaxation I need. The flying there and back is always somewhat stressful. Take today for example, I thought that I was going to have to figure out how to take transit to the airport, which was adding so much stress, then my wonderful man took the day off just so he could spend the morning with me and then drive me to the airport. We left with plenty of time to spare and about 5 minutes before the airport there was an accident that had just happened in front of us. Luckily we didn't get stuck in traffic too long, but made me stress out even more. Though I arrived at the airport with like 2 hours wait for my flight, and yes I am that person who is 2 hours early, I am way less stressed out knowing that I have time to find my way and relax a bit. 
So now I am waiting in the Vancouver Airport waiting to board my flight to Calgary where I will meet up with my family and then make our way together to Toronto, then Antigua. Flying to Antigua is not the easiest and takes way longer than I think that it should. I think there is only 1 flight a day or every couple days to Antigua from Toronto. That extra layover in Toronto is the worst. We are flying the midnight flight from Calgary to Toronto instead of staying overnight this time. 

There used to be hills back there

As I am sitting here by the window at the airport I am watching a mist or fog roll in. I am hoping this will not have any affect on the flight!! Talking with my mom on their drive up to Calgary, she was saying it is crazy windy there, which is normal for southern Alberta, but made me nervous for them driving in it. 

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! I am fortunate this year to get to spend it with my parents and I hope everyone gets to spend some time with the special people in their lives!! 🎄🎄
