To continue the saga from last night...
I kept checking the internet to see if there was any change in the flight status. Once it appeared that the flight had actually taken off, I left (again) for the airport. Just as I arrived at the terminal, my phone rings. It was my friend calling to tell me that she had not left TO yet, but was about to. So I set the alarm on my phone, and lay down for a nap on one of the pleather couches. My friend arrived around 0130. The first comment out of her mouth was "take me home". The second was " They took my lip gloss!" I laughed. Here I am thinking her plane was getting hijacked, and she is worried about her lip gloss!
So the story goes like this... As I mentioned, this lady got up while the plane was getting ready to take off, and heads for the door yelling "stop the plane... I need to get off the plane". Then her husband goes to get up. The flight attendants took charge and basically kept them quiet until the plane could get turned around and the police could escort them off the plane. They had to disembark the plane, bringing all their stuff with them. Of course, then came the task of determining what was left in the overhead bins belonged to others on the flight, and not the crazy people. In the end, the police determined that all the passengers had to leave the plane etc to have things checked out before they left. What a pain! All I can say is that I would probably not have handled things quiet as well. Who I am kidding? I was having a panic attack here at home waiting to hear what was going on!!!
I guess we will never be privy to what really happened, and why she was so desperate to get off that plane. (I did try to google the Toronto news to see if a story came of it... no such luck.) Crazy eh? So by the time I got to sleep, it was well after 0300. I had to work at 0700... it was not pretty. But I did get a lot of mileage out of this story at work!
I am just happy to have this dear friend in town, and look forward to spending time with her catching up on life.

Your life is far more exciting than mine.
The sad this is that it is not really my life... but my friends life. I am just capitalizing on her excitement! Makes for a good entry though I thought!
