Looking back, just tripping Days up to 1 (not completed)

Wow! It's done! At one point, I thought I wouldn't even be able to leave in the first place, but it's done and it was wonderful, and somewhat painful too.
Alright Day -1 Week-End
Over the week-end, I left for MTL to surprise my brother for his birthday! It was genuine! We passed Sunday; breakfast, laser gun (2 games) and Wii. It was really fun and my brother was very happy of seeing me and my parents there. So Monday was with my friend Mary, always fun to be with her, it was relax and I got to travel around MTL/LAVAL/Her place. Monday night was at my bro's because I had to leave around 12.00 to get to the bus station (to the airport) ((So that night we got to play a wee-bit more Wii))
Day 0 Tuesday (MTL)
I woke up early to see my brother leave for work, I stayed at his place with his girlfriend. I was to 'check' out around 12.00 to get to Berry where there is a coach station. I wanted to get on time at the airport, and we never know what might happened, so better be early than sorry (I say!) So, I got to Berry, bought myself a coach ticket to get to YUL (15$) 20mins later (or slightly more) I arrived at YUL, with my huge backpack. It must have been around 1.30, probably a bit earlier than that. I went immediatly to check in, I didn't want to carry on my bag too long...Zoomairlines booth were empty, so we had to wait....and I wasn't the first in line, people got there earlier than me?!?! ;o) 30min later, all was done, but boarding time was only around 15.30; I got myself a lunch at St-Hubert. Airports's restaurents are so much more expensive than the real thing, horrible! And there was taxes since I hadn't been to the second check point...bummer. After meal, a little tour around the airport and I sat down to write some stuff (which will be re-transcripted here someday) and finally time closing on 3.00 or so, I decided to give it a try and I actually passed, so I didn't get the time on my ticket...oh well...so some more time waiting before getting on the plane, but waiting lounge is quite comfy with TVs to entertain ourselves (actually, what was shown was bits of shows and it was constantly on re-run), I wrote some more stuff, and took out my London guide to check out what I would do on my very first day there. Time passed and we were called to get on the plane, we were only a few. On board, we were told that more people would come in at Halifax. I had taken a seat next to the window to check out the view, which was breath-taking all along (even if most of the flight was at night, I got to see a couple of cities ((of lights)) around Halifax and London) The airplane had change so instead of having only one person next to me I had 2, luckily I didn't have to get to the bathroom, I would have gone, but I would have felt so bad about it. Movies shown: Harry Potter, Mr Bean. Flight was good, 6 hours after we touched ground at Gatwick.
