Well, this probably isnt so interesting, but in the interest of completeness...


So after I checked in by bags around 6am or so, then I sat around by my gate walked around, checked out the duty free shops and whatnot and slept for a bit, eventually plane showed up and we took off on time right around 11:45, I was flying Air Canada back to the states with a stop at Toronto Pearson Airport with a plane change. Was flying back on a Boeing 767-200 which was older than dirt, literally. Though the seat was 100x more comfortable than the United seat I came over on, though there was no seatback entertainment system, had the old projection screen at the front of each seating section which sucked, they showed the same movie repeatedly, I dont remember what movie it was, but i had no interest what so ever in it, so my CD player got a thorough workout on the flight though I did sleep part of the way. Outside of that it was an unevntful flight, landed at Pearson alittle late and the layout was really wacky and time was tight though my next flight was way delayed, but I had to deplane, then wander around to see where to collect my bags which ended up being in a different building of the airport, had to get my bag then take it though canadian customs, followed by American Customs then recheck my bag and then I had to haul ass and take a bus to the terminal I needed to be at to catch my flight to Ohare, which was also an Air Canada flight, though my flight to chicago was delayed by like 2 hours due to weather in chicago, so I used the time to purchase with a few american dollars I had stashed in the back of my wallet to get something to eat at the airport (most places in Canada especially at the airport take both US and Canada dollars, so I didnt need to get raped with more currency conversions), so after alot of waiting our plane shows up which was an Embraer 175, also called an E Jet, or ERJ-175, which I have to say is one of the coolest planes I've ever flown, Embraer is a jet manufacturer in Brazil and is fairly new in the US market and their planes are really tricked out, first ERJ-175 flew in July 2005 so the plane was brand spanking new, and each seat had an LCD screen that swiveled around in the seat back in front of you, and it was touchscreen and it had on demand, there were litereally like 30 movies and at least a hundered TV shows and Music Videos you could choose from, it was impressive, sucks this flight was only an hour and a half long. Plane was even cooler than Airbus planes in design, high windows, spacy interior, comfortable seats and all that stuff that Boeing seems to ignore. But anyways, landed at Ohare pretty late and we landed like 5 mins before a major thunderstorm hit with a tornado warning(sierens and everything) issued not long after we landed, though nothing really came of that, was just a good heavy storm. So collected my bags and tracked down my dad and basically drove home and I took a good long nap before unpacking all my stuff.

So I guess that's everything, will do one last TR sort of a summary, so until then...
