Flying to Kelowna

Today’s going to be a bit of a whirlwind, starting with a flight to Kelowna by way of Vancouver, with Damir and me doing an EnergizeIT presentation tonight running from 9:00 p.m. to midnight, at least as far as our “body clocks” are concerned. Break out the Jolt Cola!

Here’s Damir getting a little work done while we were hanging out in the Air Canada lounge at Vancouver airport, waiting for our connecting flight to Kelowna:

I’ve already been asked “Did you bring the accordion?” Of course I did. One of the reasons I picked a little Silvetta accordion is that it fits in the overhead bin of just about every plane:

  • Assuming you carry your computer onto the plane as well, that means you have to check in your baggage? Wow, the sacrifices you make to carry the accordion. Awesome!

  • Johnny: Yup, I check my baggage, but it's not really that big a deal waiting at baggage claim.
