electriclandBetcha didn't think my updates would be quite as minute-by-minute as this, didja? Nevertheless, 15 minutes to kill before my flight to Toronto so I'm taking advantage of the funky Bell kiosk.
I heart my taxi driver, first of all; I didn't get out of the apartment until 6:05 and he took me through the wilds of Ville St. Pierre to avoid the congested part of the autoroute and got me to Dorval in 20 minutes.
My bag is a bit top-heavy, I think I'm gonna have to repack. I've also got a bunch of stuff in my rucksack (big-ass knapsack is in a plastic bag in the hold of a plane by now) so I think the question for me is going to be not "what did I forget?" but rather "what did I bring that I'm never going to use?" (Let's hope the answer's not "sunscreen".) Well, if I find there's way too much I'll just have to ditch some of it.
Check-in area was full of Hasidim, which was kind of cool but disconcerting. I saw two sets of kids that I thought were twins, then started wondering if they were near-agemate siblings who were just dressed the same. The women all had this funky retro Mary Poppins look going, navy suits and dark stockings and many hats. I nearly brained a small child with my bag but her mother assured me it didn't matter.
Just going to check my email and head back to the gate...
