The Ian has landed. What a trip it was. My dad drove me to the airport. He and I had dinner together and everything was going so smoothly. He dropped me at the gate where we said our good byes. My boarding pass said the flight was boarding an hour before take off. I imagine this is standard but due my timing I only had time for one beer and then I had to get in line. Boarding was delayed and I stood in one spot for what seemed like forever as a large group of French Canadian seniors grew restless. Clawing at my back as they let children on first. Fortunately I was one of the first to my seat. I was excited to take off and fall blissfully asleep. I would not be so lucky.
Take off was delayed due to maintenance issues. This left us sitting for an hour. Once the problem was resolved we made our way to the run way. We were then informed that a bag had gone into the right engine and we would have to go back for inspection. This was another hour long delay. Finally at almost 11pm we were in the air. They served dinner as soon as we hit 39,000 feet and informed us that there would be a small breakfast before we landed. I avoided the movie selection to try and maximize my chances of sleep. I managed to get a couple of hours sleep but I think the cabin pressure was making me feel sick. I had a really bad headache and my stomach was turning for the first half of the flight.
We landed in Copenhagen at about 11am Danish time. 5am Ontario time I believe. Once I got my bags I went in search of a bus to take me to my hotel. No such luck as everyone I asked told me I needed to take a cab. The fair was 268 DKK or 52 CND for a 14.8 km trip. The driver didn't even talk to me the whole way. Needless to say I will not be doing that again.
He dropped me at the Scandic Front Hotel where I had a room booked. Fortunately I had set up an early check in so I was in my room in under 10 minutes. The hotel is right down town and the room is just big enough for me, Free internet, Free breakfast. Considering I am only here for one night I would be happy with a bed in a broom closet. I am really tired so instead of going out to see the city I am going to take a nap. Tonight I am going to find a place for dinner and see what Copenhagen has going on at night.
