Funkycat and Vino had already left on earlier flights to Hawaii. So, Lebron, Antetokounmpo, Cactoose and I met at the airport to start our journey.

Thankfully we were seated within minutes, since it filled up very quickly afterwards, and by the time we...

To Montreal! Since we were flying within Canada entry into the domestic terminal was simply a pass through the security lines. Thankfully, if you are a Trusted Traveller then you have a dedicated security screening lane at YVR, which both Gimpy and I were.
