Flight...eventually

Thursday started like most other days. Got up, had a shower and Sonja made breakfast. I went to work and Sonja finished up a few things before taking off for home. The morning was slow and I was finally able to leave for a few minutes to take Sonja to the airport for her early flight out of here. It was a little bit foggy out and we didn't think it would be to bad for the flight, but we were wrong. Her flight out never came in, to go back out. They tried landing but weren't able to and had to turn back to go to Port Hardy. So I waited around for Sonja to hear something about flying out before heading back to work. I went back and was there for probably ten minutes before being told to take my lunch break, so I went for lunch. I called Sonja to see if she had heard anything and they were going to try another plane in within the hour to get the flight out. So I ate lunch and Sonja waited for the flight. It didn't come. After lunch I went back to work, Sonja called me and told me that she might be able to get on the late flight, which doesn't leave until 5, missing her flight to Edmonton. So I went to pick her up so she didn't need to wait at the airport. I got there and Sonja was on the phone with Westjet to see if she could change her flight, if she in fact got to Vancouver. They were very good with that and told her to call back when she knew what was going on. She was also told that there was a fishing charter flying out that was non-stop to Vancouver and would be there shortly before 5. There were 24 people booked on the plane and it can hold 27 so there was room for her, if it worked out. She called Westjet again and was on hold when she found out that she could get on the charter and actually get out of here today. So the women in charge of the airport stayed on hold for her and changed her flight with Westjet to the 6:30 flight. It was all done and Westjet called and left a message on her phone so she knew it was all done. She is home know after all of this.

My day went back and forth between work and the airport. I haven't put this many kilometers on my car since we moved out here, a whole whopping 6. The rest of the day was slow at work and I was glad for the break at the airport. I saw a cruise ship go by one of the times I came home from the airport. It was a Regency ship. I had pizza for supper and watched the Discovery Channel. Not much else on plan for tonight, just watch TV and go to bed.
