Day 1 – The Adventure Begins?

Well the adventure of getting to the RV  begins.  Picking up the RV and then driving to Boston to pick up Ben begins.  I began this part of the journey at 1 am Monday morning.  The first flight was into Dallas arriving at 6:30 am.  Then I sat in the Dallas airport for 7 hours waiting for my 4 hour flight to Toronto.  Arriving in Toronto at 5:30 pm.   I waited 4 hours for my 9:30 flight to Halifax.  Arriving in Halifax at 1 am on Tuesday June 30th.  The plan was for me to just sleep in the airport instead of getting a motel room for just 8 hours.  I was hoping to pick up the RV at 9 am.  So I am sitting in this terminal at 1 am and there is NO ONE around.  It is completely desolate.  I decided to work on my laptop a while and then go to sleep.  I sit at the desk for awhile and decide to go get cleaned up a bit and then put my head down on the desk and sleep.  The chairs in the terminal were very uncomfortable.  So on my way to the bathroom I ran into the janitor who had just finished cleaning the mens room and I asked him about getting some food and better place to sleep in the terminal.  well, he said there is a food court just outside the terminal and the place to sleep is the observation deck.  So I got cleaned up and went just outside the terminal and here are 3 or 4 places to eat and 15 people mulling around.  So I get some food and head to the Observation Deck to check out the sleeping arrangements.  I get off the elevator on and the room is completely dark.  I go the the window that looks out over the planes below and I sit down.  Looking around I see 6 to 8 people scattered around the room in different positions sleeping.  The observation room turns into a sleeping quarters during the night.  So I curled up and grabbed some shut eye….
