Random Meeting

I should know to expect it, but I didn't.  This morning, as I was waiting at my gate in Vancouver to fly north to Smithers, I met one of my friends, Sonia.  I was standing up to head to the bathroom when she saw me, walked towards me and gave me a hug.  We had both been in the same waiting area without seeing each other for a while.  She had also already met up with another one of her friends.

It took some extra time to board because some unaccompanied minors had to be moved around, and some families were split up.  It ended up that there was a little flexibility in seating once we got on the plane.  Sonia and I were able to sit beside each other for the flight north, with her other friend right behind us beside an unaccompanied young girl.  Sitting with a friend made the flight far more enjoyable.  We were also at the very front of the plane, so we also chatted with the flight attendant.

Meeting up with Sonia was a pleasant surprise, and it was also fun to get to greet her family as well as my own upon arrival in Smithers.
