Here I am in... Vancouver?!?

Yo Party Peoples,

How's it going?
I'm sitting here in Dallas where the temp today reached 102 degrees F and 98% humidity. I don't know how people live here!

So apparently there were some mechanical difficulties with the plane that was supposed to fly from Dallas to Detroit to pick us up so AA had to wait for a different plane that could fly this way. That delayed our original flight 2 hours. We were booked to arrive in Dallas at 9:50p and to run to catch Qantas as 10:00p. However, they flew away without us (we didn't get off the Dallas plane till a quarter past 10 anyhow).

The flight was good. It was full of old people traveling back to Dallas. I don't know what brought them to Michigan, but they seemed to be having the time of their lives. Many of them heard about us having little chance to catch our Sydney flight and they were all rooting for us. You gotta love old people. It felt like a mix between Home Alone and Return to Me LOL. One of the ladies across the aisle even prayed for us to catch our plane. I absolutely love that. Look at Jesus working all the way over here in Dallas. God makes me smile :)

I sat next to Katie on the plane. She hates planes. They make her completely freak out. Halfway through the flight she popped some Benedryl and was relatively calm from that point on (after, of course grabbing my hand several times and keeping her eyes shut the whole trip).

Tomorrow we leave for Vancouver of all places. It's the soonest flight to Sydney that wasn't already booked. I'm pretty excited. I've never been in a part of Canada that can't be seen from Detroit. I don't know how much we will be able to see though, it may just happen that we stay at the airport all day. But, I am going to see what I can do to persuade my traveling posse otherwise.

On the upside, I get more flying miles for the extra trip :) AND- I get my passport stamped in Vancouver. Double Bonus!

Oh yeah, one more thing. I am definitely allergic to misquitos. I keep getting bites that swell up really big a couple days later and are very hot to the touch. I don't know what happened to make it like that, but I hope I don't get bit by stuff in Australia. I don't want to be swollen the whole time I am down under.

I'll upload pictures as soon as I get ahold of my connecting cord packing in my checked baggage. Be safe everyone. Love Jesus. Sleep well.
