Why does air Canada's website say up to 70lbs travelling internationally? If a had a nice agent then God bless him. Or maybe they did it out of appreciation as there was a huge line up and only have 2 agents working and 1 was caught up in something. Then he came and opened leaving 2 of them working while the other one was handling something. I'm still waiting on my barrel to come. You must be excited girl I hope your gate isn't far of a walk at Pearson cuz mine was sure a distance or I hope someone could help u to the gate.
The barrel should only take 3 weeks. I'd check into it

I'm only going to have my laptop bag, the diaper bag and the car seat. So walking to the gate won't be that bad. Naylah will be in a sling on me to my hands will be free. At least I get to board the aircraft first and my carry on stuff won't be overhead someone else on the plane. It will be above me. I hate when I have to put stuff else where because there is no room near ur own seat. Big pet peeve of mine lol. Ok rant done

My passport is ready to be shipped back to me. Just got a call from Kingston. Was so shocked given that it was an overseas no. that was displayed but then I heard a full Ja. accent and then the caller identified herself. Unfortunately I will be out of town as of tomorrow till Sat so won't be around if it comes this week which is such a pity but once it's in the country I will go anywhere to collect it. Anyone else awaiting their passport, yours more than likely is in the same batch ready to be returned. I believe I only got a call due to my Fedex airway bill.

July 21 they picked up the barrel and it's suppose to arrive aug 5. I called today they haven't emptied the containers yet so I will call back tomorrow. Well that isn't so bad I took my cart right up to security. I had my purse, luggage and laptop bag. Worst idea to wear a damn long maxi dress lol had to hold it up so it wouldn't drag. Time I got to ja I wanted to take it off lol all wrinkled and felt so hot.

I forgot to mention that Jamaica isn't considered international for baggage. So when your coming back be careful with the weight as they will charge you for anything over 50lbs. I've been charges before. They usually let you get away with it going down there but coming back not so much

Hey Maddants!

To be 100% honest I was moping around feeling sorry for myself...I just needed a break from the forum and the immigration process...which is pretty hard to do when you've been around as long as some of us!!!!

Are you prepared for your interview?

So many newbies! Come on Kingston...out with the old and in with the new! :p

Thanks for asking!
