Crisis Averted!


So... many of you know that I like to be prepared (maybe a little too prepared). I wanted to check with Pearson's website to make sure that our flight was on schedule. When I checked the website they had not posted the flights for tomorrow yet. They directed me to contact the airline. So I went to United Airline's website and searched for our flight number. Search = No Results Available. I start to panic. So I called United's toll free number and spoke to a very useless man who told me that our flight DID NOT EXIST. Now I'm really panicking. I promptly called Pearson and spoke to a much more helpful man who unfortunately told me the same thing - our flight does not exist. If shit flew it would be hitting a fan RIGHT ABOUT NOW. He suggested that I call Flight Centre to find out what the problem is. He told me that I should get on this right away because I am leaving very soon and if Flight Centre closes I'm pretty much up you know what creek without a paddle. So I called Flight Centre in Victoria and told them my happy story. I would like all of you to keep in mind that 25 minutes have passed and I am having a major heart attack at this point. I spoke with a very nice (and useful man) named Mike and he told me....






The flight number has been changed!!!!





He then said "didn't anyone tell you about this?" I of course laughed because if they had I wouldn't be having kittens on the phone with him at that very moment. So long and short - crisis averted. New flight number, slightly new time, but all is good. Our next entry, which probably won't be nearly as exciting, will be from Thailand. How very cool.
