Fly HMY from Vancouver |
Taking off |
The weather was not unlike the stereotypical Vancouver weather - warm and drizzling. We went climbing with Bob, Jen, and Josha, and there was a cool view of the CN Tower on our way back to the car.

For the second day in a row we drove the 60km or so to Mississagua, this time to visit Kevin, Aleksandra, and Danny. For some strange reason, we saw Warren too.

I flew HMY Airways, flight HQ853, and Deb and Michael flew Jetsgo, flight SG309. SG309 was scheduled to leave YYZ a couple of hours before HQ853. We knew that it was delayed a bit, so I wandered over to their gate when I arrived the hour before my flight; they were all boarded, and the staff at the gate were tidying up, so I figured that they would actually arrive in YVR before me. HQ853 departed on time, arrived a few minutes early, and even fed us on board. Shocked was I to find upon arrival at YVR that SG309 had not yet arrived. Somehow, I was there to greet them as they arrived. You can get more Jetsgo stories by asking Deb and/or Michael.
