Enjoying the Road

So, I'm on the road alot. Or rather, in the air alot. And rather than get my knickers in a knot over it... I've decided to enjoy it. I usually leave for the airport with plenty of time, so I don't feel rushed getting checked-in or going through security. I usually have time to get a Starbucks hot chocolate once I'm through security... and the airport now has a tonne of comfy chairs... and free wireless. So I'm pretty much good to go.

Today, I'm going to Nanaimo for a workshop (this is actually a few weeks ago as I'm writing this a few weeks before the fact... if that makes sense). Anyhow, I decided to fly into Vancouver and then take the Skytrain and bus to Horseshoe Bay and catch the ferry to Nanaimo. I have a few ferry options, so I figured I spend a couple of hours nestled in a Starbucks here in downtown Vancouver. At first I was a bit concerned about rush-hour coffee lovers, but... it is Sunday so... it is delightfully empty. I had a pannini sandwich... my hot choclate... and can listen to soothing jazz on the speakers and watch the world go by. I have lots of projects with me on my laptop so... life is good... Lots of time... lots of room for enjoying the journey rather than resisting it...
