Matt Reyes: Ottawa with Keith


Well, met up with Keith in the lobby, look good, lost some weight and he's wearing a funny T-shirt that I must think is for me: NO YIELD TO GRAVITY or something like that. My sentiments, exactly. He was kind enough to buy me a Caesar salad (with real anchovies) but it's not nearly as good as Nini's, not even close. Talking with him is just like writing emails...the conversation never stopped since the last visit.

Matt Reyes: Baggage


Up all night working the phone, calling the lost bag call center, but nobody gives me a straight story. The one consistent answer: call later. I must compliment them, they are quite nice and they seem to have been trained to deal with frustrated people, and since they aren't the baggage handlers, there's no need for me to vent my frustration on them. They're trying. But that's where the problem is, THEY'RE NOT THE BAGGAGE HANDLERS.

Matt Reyes: Las Vegas to Philadelphia


Okay, first off I'm writing this on the plane on my phone, and since this is a long story, I'm going to have to come back and add to this later. My second commercial flight out of Vegas, and it's my second delayed flight, both late at night. Just like last time, there's no excuse for this: they don't have room at the terminals to bring in my plane. It's sitting right there, gee, why couldn't they have just brought up some stairs. So, we're off an hour+ late, which is not the best news because this is to connect with another flight in Philly.

Matt Reyes: Marriott Ottawa


Ahh, the joys of being a Platinum member... Hotel is next to Federal Parliament Bldg, got a nice tour of the city from a sympathetic shuttle driver. I hate to admit this, but Canada seems more foreign to me than Peru did...Miami and Peru are so close together.
