So, here we are, in Logan International Airport. It's 1:15est, and we're waiting for our boarding call (around 1:55 for our 2:35 flight). I have to type this post in notepad, because even though the entire airport is a wi-fi hotspot, it costs $7.95USD per day to use it. And the only currency exchange place in the Departures area is closed, so the Viking and I can't even get a book or food or anything. We had to pool our last $3USD to buy a Snapple for the two of us to share.
The drive to Boston was . . . interesting, to say the least. We left Toronto at midnight Sunday night/Monday morning, and got to Boston at 12:30pm on Monday (today). I spent a lot of time asleep. Not as much as the Viking, who could sleep on the beach in Florida during a hurricane, but a lot for me. I'd planned on staying awake until we got to Iceland, but I am weak. :P I've got my DS, two books, and a magazine for the flight, and knitting of course-hopefully there will be an interesting movie on. If I have to sit through Eragon again, I don't know what I'll do. Viking's off wandering through the airport, trying to find a currency-exchange booth that's actually open.
I had so much I wanted to say here, but I can't remember any of it. Sleep deprivation will do that to you, I guess. Oh, I got a new phone. It's the same number, so anyone that has it feel free to text me, but don't be offended if I don't reply to every text-when we get to Iceland they will cost me 60 cents each to send (I can recieve unlimited for free). As soon as I get internet, though, I will be hooking up my 'puter and signing into Skype so I can talk to everyone. Also, email me whenever you want-remember, my year of free time starts when the plane lands, so I'll have time. I've also been taking some pictures-my photographer friend would LOVE this airport-it's all fancy. Once I can actually connect to the internet I'll upload my pictures to Flickr and link them here.

I don't see Viking. It's 1:26pm, and he's been gone for a while. Well, I guess as long as he remembers to come back to Gate E6 before 1:55, we'll be okay.
OOoh! I picked up a brochure about flying with pets, and I checked into it on the Icelandair website. I'd have to pay $72 for the puppy's 'ticket', but I'd SO be willing to do that. :D So I'm gonna look into getting a dog-maybe check out an animal shelter or something. I want a smallish dog-an Icelandic Sheepdog would be nice, but they're over $1000 a dog here (purebreds), so I'm not getting my hopes up.
Okay, I'm tired, and if I want to use my laptop on the plane at all, I'm gonna have to save this now and come back later.
