Overnighter in Toronto
Damn it. I thought I could work on the budget as I fly to Toronto but something is wrong with my memory stick. Oh well, it will be a long night on Sunday. I needed to go to Toronto for the night as I still don’t have a work visa for Cuba so I had to leave the country for a day and come back. Ironic as many people would never come back to Cuba if given the choice.
Going to Toronto will not be so bad as I get to shop for things that I do not have access to in Cuba (far too lengthy to mention). I will meet up with the Alan Soupster Savage and bless his Catholic soul because he is willing to take me to Costco, Walmart and Best Buy or in other words shopping hell.
Finally those upgrades I get from Air Canada are worth something. I upgraded to business class. Oh Nexen with your unlimited travel budget where are you at times.
There are two young kids beside me having the time of their lives flying. They have been laughing for 3 hours now.
I read about a car bombing in Seyun (Yemen). I think 10 people were killed. I always cringe when I read something like that and hope that it is not someone I know.
