After my last shift at work and a night of restlessness, I got on a plane to LA. The flight was not as painful as I thought and everything ran smoothly at the airport! LAX was impressive and everyone was really helpful, I got to my gate and read a book under a blanket while I waited for my short flight to Calgary. The flight was delayed, but it didn't bother me to much, with no phone and no internet I didn't really have any other choice than to sit, read and relax (which was 100% fine with me!).
Finally I arrived in Calgary where I found my amazing friend Shauni waiting to pick me up, and after a short drive to our hotel I was ready to crash. I managed to get out of jet lag pretty easily (my lack of sleep made it easy to pass out on a comfy bed no matter what time my body thought it was...), so the next morning off we drove to Shauni's home in Fernie, British Columbia. The drive was interesting, with icy roads and snow everywhere it was a little nerve-racking, but soon enough I learnt to trust Shauni's driving and managed to squeeze in a nap.
Fernie is beautiful, it's now my third day here, and I'm pretty happy with my accomplishments so far! I've been up the hill twice and my snowboarding skills are slowly improving... (I only face planted once today) tomorrow I will move on from the kids mountain, 'The Mighty Moose' and onto some of the real slopes! Haven't had a chance to snap any photos yet, but will definitely take the camera up tomorrow.
