Season has started!
Executive First Class
Toronto - Frankfurt, Air Canada, March 12th. It's two days after my planned return, and I am in a first class seat. It's so much fun to fly first class. What a pity it's only 7 hours flying today, I could easily have spent here another 7 hours. Too bad that I had to make a connection at FRA which is absolute hell.
Battery Empty: Toronto Island
Toronto, March 12th. I am waking up after having volunteered for the second time to not fly and make some money. It is a beautiful day, cold but clear. I am taking the ferry to the Island in front of Toronto and I am surprised how nice it is. It is such a serene day, beautiful for photography ... but ... damn ... battery emtpy. Dont you hate it when that happens. With a lot of shaking I push out 3 more photo's. How wonderful this island must be in the summer to have this -artificial- beach, even swimming is possible and the water doesn't look that bad either. And I love ferry trips and this is fun trip with great view.
Denied Boarding (2)
Toronto, March 12th. I should have been home now, but I am waking up at the Sheraton Airport Hotel in a room on the club floor overlooking Toronto Airport, I am ordering myself a full roomservice breakfast and it's all FREE. Fabulous. This is the second thime this year I have been denied boarding my flight, but this time, it's my choice, I noticed how busy it was at the gate and asked if they needed volunteers at Air Canada, and they did. Got an upgrade to Excecutive First Class, 500 dollar and a hotel night with meals. And another night in Toronto. Not bad. And you know what, I am doing it again today so with 1000 dollars in travel vouchers on Air Canada I sure will be back soon.
From Miami back to the cold
Miami to Toronto, March 10th. I am cycling back from North Beach, have a fantastic Cuban meal, return my bike and spend an hour at the Albion Pool, I change, take a cab, back to Miami Airport. My return flight to Miami is at 8 pm, I am on my way back to chilly Toronto. Bye Bye Miami, I will be back!
