Miserable. Cramped, and not falling asleep despite blindfold, earplugs, pilllow, heaphones on classical music. All week I've had this thing where I fall asleep readily at bedtime, get 4-5 hours sleep, then get stuck awake, with at best drifting off later. B&R probably thought I was a slug, seeming to sleep in all morning. I've never slept well in planes, or anywhere outside of beds, but still.
5 hour flight, as just the first leg. Gah! Whine whine, self inflicted agony.
Oh, no free meal on this 5 hour flight. Not that I want one, just noting. Lots of drinks offered. "Coffee? It's Starbucks, and free!"
16:40, 3:40 from gate departure.
My next flight is Air Canada; I get to check in with them in Toronto. Despite having, you know, checked in.

A situation which really confused immigration, and I got told I should have printed out an itinerary. But they let me through, after more "why are you traveling and what do you do?" questions, I found someone to give me a boarding pass -- not trivial inside the secure zone at 21:00 -- and discovered another store that doesn't have 3 prong adapters. Passed on buying a bunch of ice wine. And no, ATT prepaid doesn't work here.
Free Boingo wifi does, though! And a food court with tables! I can eat bread and camembert. Or buy Tim Horton's donuts. Hmm.
