Not feeling well
Daddy

Malone set the metal detector off - he had to be frisked!
Managed 20 minutes in airport Lounge. We both had a shower in separate cubicles. Managed a 5 minute snack/ breakfast. Boarded on time. Me and cobs got a 3 seat row to ourselves. We had a delay of around 30 minutes - Luggage scanner was faulty. Gruesome flight - because we were tired. I watched the Lincoln Lawyer then Hanna. It took me about 6 hours to watch Hanna because I was sleeping in between. Meanwhile Cobs wasn't doing well. He was sick in a vomit bag even before we took off, and spent about 8 hours asleep - on and off.

We connected in Houston - 45 minute queue at immigration and then they took me for secondary immigration screen, but they let me go after about 30 seconds of questioning! We Just about made it to the air Canada flight. Small Prop Jet1 but smooth flight. 2-2 configuration. We were together. They had In flight entertainment (IFE) which is unusual for small/ short haul planes. Cobs was feeling better at this point and hence felt the 3 hour flight was not long enough to enjoy the IFE. I slept for over half of that Journey and missed bits of the film i was watching - Super 8. Canada immigration was quick.
Took the cheapest way into toronto - Bus then Tube then a short Tai Ride. $15. I put it to Jacob if he wanted to take a cab for $60 (including Tips) and he chose the Bus. (He has had the occasional moan about walking but then accepts we need to keep fit). Poor him 2 of his toes are sore - I'm trying to convince him to buy sandals and might have to if they get sorer.

We stayed first night at the Hilton Garden Inn. (Garden Inns are slightly Budget chain of Hilton hotels). nice clean free internet. We arrived after 11pm - we bought a microwave meal - heated it the in room microwave. Then went to bed a few hours later - etremely exhausted.

plane we went to the executive lounge where we had a shower and after dad had some sausage egg bacon and muffin, but because i was ill i couldnt be near food, so every time i moved away from dad and his food he followed me when we boarded the first plane we were on it for about an hour before we set off in threw up quite a few times in a sick bag, it had loads of chicken in it (McDonald's). I Still had a tummy ache for rest of the journey so near the end i went to the toilet to drop a deus...deus ex human revolution....my the next plane was fine though. But i didnt have enough time to watch much, just 2 simpsons and Pirates of the Caribbean 4. but by the end of the day my big left and my little right toe were swollen and they still are now 😞 the only thing i had yesterday was coke cherry, lucozade water, small tub of ice cream, chex and some crisps
p.s. the channels aren't good here
