Day 1 - Toronto - Friday Evening

I got to the airport at about 7:30. We had checked in online the night before to ensure we were sitting beside each other. It turned out our flight was delayed from 8:30 to about 9:15 PM. We entered the gates at about 8:15 so we still had about a 45 minute wait inside the gates. I failed the metal detector test and required an intensive scan. When we boarded the jet the skies were dark and everything was okay until we hit some turbulence on our flight. The turbulence was so sudden that a flight attendant was sent flying into the wall. The captain immediately told them to sit down and they did so hastily. The seat beat light remained on for much of the flight. They were originally getting ready to serve the buy on board items. They recommended this mango smoothie ($3) so I decided to give it a try but it was too warm for a smoothie and it was HOT in the cabin. When ask, I told them it was good just to be polite. We arrived quite late and it was passed midnight and we were waiting for our luggage to come down. We were welcomed by my uncle and aunt who picked us up from Pearson International Airport. We arrived to their home in Vaughan and grandpa was waiting for us so we quickly changed and ate and then went to bed, it was 1:30 AM local time when we settled down. I slept on the sofa the first night while Andrew got the sofa bed. We promised to alternate.
