Trip Log

Notes Actions
I worked all day today and then Elissa arrived from Calgary in the afternoon. We brought her over to our AirBnB via the Aqueduct for a quick look, and then up to sit on our roof, because roof sittin' is good sittin'. We filled her full of wine, guacamole, queso and more and then took her back to her place to (hopefully) get a better sleep than last night.
We've had yet another SNAFU with Aero Mexico. They changed our itinerary (again), and sent me an e-mail with a link to "accept" the change. But the link didn't work. I ended up calling them to sort it out, and the reason why things weren't working... well... was because they had us flying from Vancouver to Edmonton the DAY BEFORE we were going to fly from Mexico City to Vancouver. As a remedy, they wanted to put us on a different route all together, leaving Queretaro on the Thursday evening, overnighting in Mexico City, leaving Mexico City at 5PM-ish for Toronto, then leaving Toronto at 9AM the next day. Three days shot just trying to get home. You've got to be kidding me. After some more phone calls to WestJet (the partner on the YVR-YEG leg) and to Aero Mexico, Brent got us hooked up with a one-day itinerary on March 10th leaving Queretaro at 6AM and arriving Edmonton at dinner time. That's a whole lot better!
