Reunion photos
Reunioning
Had a great time at the reunion. Much fun, much seeing people I hadn’t see in 20 years. I think I ended up spending more time taking pictures of people than I did talking to them, but I caught up with the people I wanted to see.
There were more people there than I expected so things were very busy. There were a few people I hoped to see but didn’t show, some that I did see that I wasn’t expecting and a lot of people that I was expecting. Everybody still looked mostly the same so I managed to recognize most everyone without having to resort to the name tag check ducking manoeuver.
I think I’ve got a couple hundred pictures I need to sort through and filter out, so it’ll be a little bit before I can get pictures posted.
More later.
Ticket home
Booked my trip back home for the reunion this fall. Thankfully this time it’s only a 1 layover trip (stopping in Chicago’s O’Hare) so it’s only about 7 hours of flight time. Much better than my last trip home where I had to go CHS->BWI->YYG (Toronto)->YEG (Edmonton) and spent about 12 hours in the air and in airports.
The ticket still isn’t cheap, but it’s a lot more convenient only having to stop once.
Now I just need to find a place to stay…
