July 31st – Departure

Our final day in Canada went extremely smoothly. Like Jed and his family, we piled all of our possessions into the truck and shipped out to the airport. We were to meet my parents and Grams at the airport during check-in so that we could have a final meal with everyone before we left. During check-in, we were graciously bumped up to economy-plus, which was a very nice privilege for a commoner like myself, even if my seat is the Oriental Avenue compared to first class’ Boardwalk. Once the bags had disappeared through the doggie-door along the conveyor belt, we settled down for the finest meal Pearson airport has to offer – Swiss Chalet. A half-chicken dinner later, we were waving good-bye to our parents while sprinting through security. After navigating through Heathrow airport or what could have very well been Escher’s “Relativity,” we found our gate and boarded the plane for Prague.
