It’s Jess here. Ok, here we go, my first official blog entry on the first day of this journey. I can start by telling you that it feels surreal to be at the Vancouver International Airport with only a few other people – it’s a total ghost town here. The only people in sight are those lined up at Tim Hortons’s which I can see is now finally open! – be back in 5 mins.
Ok, I’m back and with a Timmies in hand the universe is right again. I am not one for corporate imperialism, but I do wonder when Tim Hortons will take Peru by storm. Wouldn’t that be great? (just kidding… sort of).
Anyhow it’s almost 6am and people are starting to come out of the woodwork. It was an odd and novel experience not to have to wait in a single line up so far, notwithstanding the 30 second line up at Tim Hortons. I breezed through security and if this keeps up I may even have some free space or an empty seat next to me to spread out in. Wishful thinking, I know.
I am enjoying my last few fleeting minutes here…. this airport is amazing, really. Everything is so new, so clean and seemingly so organized. There is even free wireless internet.
But, I am soooo excited to get on that plane to meet the rest of our group in Toronto. Experiencing a trip like this with others necessarily means the forging of new friendships. I know from experience that the next few weeks will afford me knew experiences, new friendships and a ton of personal development.
Tim Hortons will be here when I get back and soon it will be Inca Cola and Pisco Sours instead.
Vamos arriba Peru! See you soon,
Jess
