Okay. So I got on you a little bit about Canadians Greg. I was invited to go up to Seattle and visit a friend this morning which reminded me of this story of my last trip.
First off: I HATE PLANES. ESPECIALLY over water. (*shiver* water!) My first plane trip ever actually was about 4 years back when I was flying to Seattle. Being on a plane was bad enough because I'm closterphobic but this plane was PACKED. And full of what you might ask?? Canadians! Teams of Canadian softball players. All men, and all softball players.
I was about middle way through the plane and had a window seat (which I did not want.) There were two men to my left so I asked one if I could trade them seats because "this is my first time on a plane and I'm really nervous." So they sat me in between these two Canadians who turned out to be father and son. It was like a tag team!! These guys were Non-stop teasing me! Son: "You know Erin, this airplane was actually supposed to take off about 40 minutes ago! I wonder why it's taking so long. Maybe theres something wrong with it!"
Dad: "Yeah. If I were you I'd go ask the captin!"
eventually word got out to the entire plane and all of them were teasing me. One of the guys had their little son with them (who had to have been about 3) and he had his son walk over a coloring book and some crayons. The kid was the cutest little thing but embarrssing as hell!
Kid: "Here! My daddy says youre really scared and I should let you color. But why are you scared? This isnt scary at all!"

Non-stop from San Diego to Seattle these guys teased me. The son next to me invited me to the some softball game they were going to play and gave me his address so I cold check him out if I ended up browsing into Canada while on my trip in Seattle.
Never checked him out but I did drive into Vancover. CRAZY!!!! I was almost hit 4 times (once by a bus) and I think 4 guys tried to "buy" me. Got weed thrown at me... I mean it was absolutly crazy! So when trying to leave: Road construction. Could not get out of Canada! While on the detour (my friend was driving and got lost. I would never do that of corse) :) it was beautiful... but Vancover was scary. Especially for a lil' girl like me.
I would love to correctly tour Canada... but I think I'll wait a little longer than 4 years. ;)
Those Canadians on the plane were mean (!!!) but you were right Greg, they brought something "extra" to my trip. :) It was weird because remembering it now... they all seemd so happy! A plane full of happy people... you don't find that very often.
