We are old school. We like holding onto paper boarding passes at the airport. I have to admit that WestJet made it marginally more fun. When printed out, one gets to fold the normal sheet into four sections to make a little book. The pages contain airport and flight boarding instructions too. The procedure nearly made me sad that early retirement has prevented me from enjoying the preparation part of getting ready for a new class.
Jay and I have six little books because it takes three flights to get to our destination. We have to get up earlier than normal tomorrow morning because we take off from Vancouver International Airport at 9:00 AM local time. By the time we reach our destination, our time zone will be three hours ahead and it'll be time to sleep.
