Traveling...

I LOVE to travel!!!! This experience is pushing it... We are at our fourth airport. Want to know how far we are trying to travel??? Its only a 23 hour drive from our home. It should have been a 2 hour flight...

It all started at 4am. Yes that's right. AM! We started our drive to Vic. at 5am with coffee in hand. Only 2 hours drive, not so bad considering we could drive it blind-folded. That brings us to 7am. We were told to check in 2 hours before as we brought our lil pup. Turns out we didn't need the 2 hours, only 40 min. So we ran around the  parking lot for an hour trying to tire him out. We gave him half a gravol for the trip (Vets recommendation). First flight went well. He was stressed for the take off and landing but everything in between he was fine for. We had a quick stop in Kelowna (stop 1, 45 min flight) then off to Edmonton (stop 2, 1 hour flight). Edmonton was ok. They had a huge parking lot to walk in (yes, dogs are shunned from the airport).

Every time we landed we took the pup out for a stretch and pee. Meaning we had to go through baggage check every time!!! Have you ever gone through that with a pup? Our little pup did NOT want to be in his crate every time we put him in there... You have to take your dog out of the crate, hold him and put everything else through at the same time. Then you need to put him in the crate before you leave the baggage check area (where there are too many people crammed in one area). OMG, it was absolutely laughable thing the FIRST TIME... We have done it now 5 times... Oh, wait, I skipped a section.

Where was I? Oh yes, We were in edmonton for ... yikes too many hours... Our flight was supposed to leave at 4:30pm but it was postponed for 3 and a half hours... then eventually cancelled... they found flights for everyone (ours is sucky, but at least they found us one... right? it was for 6:30pm to calgary... an extra flight... we left 40 min late. Now I am sitting at the calgary airport waiting for the 9:35pm flight to sask. We have finally eaten food (via gift voucher from westjet) I am just hoping at the end of this we have our luggage and a .... wait that is all I want.

My man and I laughed at how horrible this was after we passed some grumps that is...
