Getting closer

Saturday, 14 July 2007

I am one time zone closer now as I flew from Chicago to Montreal today. The bike has made it although it will stay in the bag until I get to Burlington. At Chicago airport it could have gone either way. My bike bag just sneaked under the 50lb limit and the checkout lady couldn't find her tape measure to measure its dimensions. Once she had decided not to charge me excess she then became my greatest fan and is hoping I win the races in Czech Republic...nevermind I'm not American. At Montreal airport I stood in a que for over 1.5 hours to get through passport check. I was a bit grumpy after that.
