DAY ONE
Wow. Long day today. So you know how you have to be 2 hours early for international flights? well mine left at 6 am. i had to be there at four. I totally had a good nights rest let me tell you.
Me and my brother thought it would be fun to wear business clothes, which was fun. We met this nice lady from Holland who told us her life story. The boarding man was this super cool black man who reminded me not to dance on the plane. like i said, he was cool.
We got onto the flight, and conversed, and arrived in Vancouver. It was only a short flight, 35 minutes long. I swear, i was the only white person besides my brother in that airport. We sat around, went and checked email, ate a bit, and a couple of hours later boarded onto the plane to Toronto, of coarse after changing into more comfortable clothes because my heels where starting to bother me. The lady sitting next to me kept on looking at me funny because I was reading "the Mormon bible." but i think anyone would of done the same thing. I slept most of this flight because it is tiring waking up so early.
So in Toronto me and my brother had about 2.5 hours to kill. I suggested going into town, but instead we just wandered aimlessly around the airport, took the train from one side of the airport and back, ate some food, you know, your average stalling stuff.
I really enjoyed being in Toronto, the atmosphere is so American. It was great. but finally the time to go to PEI came.
I slept through most of this flight as well but the most memorable part of my journey was watching the sun set. If you know me super well, you know I love stars and space type stuff. The sun was setting, and it was seriously a rainbow, red on the horizon, and then the purple of the night sky. out of the west Jupiter or Saturn was rising. SO BEAUTIFUL. It kind of made me sad about what i was missing out on, on the west coast, where everybody is.
Now on PEI, it smells... clean? I don't know. there are no noises, lights, people. It is so white, I'm scared. I'm going to be the ghetto girl from the big city. I realized how much i really do love diversity. but besides that lets talk about the airport, and how it can fit into renton stadium. Yes, that's the provinces airport for you.
and where am i sleeping??? In a tent, in the living room, on an air mattress...
NO MALLS NO RECEPTION NO FRIENDS NO CAR NO CIVILIZATION
i swear, this is worse than scout camp.

I'm just going to have to make the best of things, maybe work on my tan. if theres sun here.
