Flight Home

I know this has been long over due.
I got a 5am bus so i was up at 4:30am.
On the bus Ride to Lisbon I got to see them cutting cork off cork trees.
Once I got off the bus I realized I had no money to get the shuttle to the air port. Non of my bank cards would work. It was a scarey and stress full momment. I have never felt so awafulle in my life. I ended up asking these two women for money they were so nice and help full. they gave me the 3 euroes that i needed to get home. I was so scared that I would miss my flight.
Once in the airport every thing went well. I was starving but I took an orange so I was able to eat be for checking in.
I had a lay over in ponta delgada witch is an island off the cost of Portugal. the flight we were on was also going to Boston. Every one had to get off the plain. when I get off the plain there is people there that you show your ticket to the would tell you to go behind to your boarding gate, or you would be sent out. So I hear the woman send a girl to the out door that was going to Toronto. So I bring my ticket up and she sends me to the out door. As I get closer you have to go through boarder controle and the man was saying to the girl you should go to your gate so i pipe up saying that i am also going to Toronto and was sent to here. so the mans says no no come. So we fallow and confirm that we are on the same flight. The boarder man starts arguing with the grounds woman. We have no idea what they are saying. the man turns to us and says go in there. so we walked in there.
Me and the girl sat and talked we had 3 hrs to kill so it was good to get to talk with someone. We got to watch them check the boston flight. Every one had there hand baggage surcehed they had to remove there shoes. we just sat there and when the time came we just walked on the flight.
once on the flight i was in the middle isle and i had all four seats to my self. A man did end up moving to the other seat. I was so happy when the meal came It had been a long time since breakfast.
I had still not slept at this point. I wanted to watch the movie it was the new sherlock but my head phones. would not work and the flight attendant could not get it to work. So I watched the movie with no sound.
once landed I had no problem with customs, they have eletronic mechines that you scan your passport then ur claims sheet and prints a number on it. Then you walk to two gaurds they look at the number and point to go to the counters or go along behind.
I got my bags and walked out. Did not get questioned at all.
I was officially back in Canada and I had some Canadian coin to spend at Tims!

I extended my trip to spend time in Ontario with my grand mother.
