18.08.2023 the journey to Vancouver

Well hello everybody. Its been a few days since we set out and I have just got myself up and running at last. 

Last Friday morning at 9.00am, we were picked up by a super black Audi Limousine. We had a very comfortable ride to Heathrow Airport. We arrived in plenty of time for our flight, good job we did. It seemed to take forever to get through check in and Security. Don't mention Security! It was sooo embarrassing. After getting the Missus sorted with Airport Assistance we got round to Security. We had to get our Laptops out of our bags, and make sure anything metal was in the trays provided to go through the scanner. I sailed through in my travel bag, then the Missus had to walk through the scanner. Oh dear the alarms went off and she realised too late that she had her wallet in her pocket. It was 'Sit there, take your shoes off, and get your wallet out put them in this box to go through the scanner'. Then, horror of horrors she had to go stand in the Body Scanner, with her arms above her head and be scanned. After that she sat down and put her shoes on again and collected me in my travel bag and put her wallet away. Then we realised the Masters bag had gone down the other channel and he was waiting for for it at the other end. We had a long wait as the person in front had a lot of stuff to be sorted and some confiscated. Eventually, it was Masters turn. They couldn't see that his Volterol was in a plastic bag, it was, but not the right sort! Well it was plain sailing after that. We were taken to the Air Canada lounge and had a very nice bowl of beef stew and rice with a cake afterwards. Then it was onwards to the boarding gate. Nice comfortable seat on the plane and we settled in for the night flight to Vancouver. There was a nice big screen in front of the seat and Morgan Moose and I found watching the 3D map of the flight fascinating.  After a snooze, we watched the final bit as the plane flew across Canada and into Vancouver. It was a 9 hour flight. A bit disorientating as we left on a Friday afternoon and arrived in Vancouver on Friday afternoon! Going through the airport, collecting cases and finding our driver went without a hitch. The hotel was about 30 mins from the Airport.
