Met up with Steve, used the self check in, did the usual competition of weighing in the bags, to see whose weighed the most (heaviest packer was the loser) as usual, Ly lost this competition.
Surprisingly enough, we all got through the security checkpoint without any beeps or hassles.
Not much excitement here, we board the leg, find our seats, get comfortable for take off, and yippie, plane doesn't explode during take off.
Ly and Steve are seated next to each other in the middle aisle (I arranged for it this way, in case Ly needed to hold Steve's hand, since this was his first time flying), while I'm seated to the right of them with an aisle seat. A little while after take off, we get to choose our own movies on our own personal TV's. And here comes the gayest moment of the trip, we all chose the EXACT same movie. But wait it gets even gayer, it was a chick flick that we all decided to choose on our own: He's Just Not That Into You.
I heard them laughing along with the movie, but I had no idea that they were watching the same thing I was, until I looked over and noticed the similar screen shots, while my system was being restarted because I lost the functionality of my TV.
Shortly after the movie we landed in Vancouver, here our stopover was about 3 hours. Steve was nice enough to arrange for some of his friends to come pick us up, show us around the city and grab lunch.
They showed us a couple of the main tourist attraction hot spots, one of them being a building with a mutha-f-ing tree planted right on the top of it. 
We ended up grabbing lunch at Milestones and for some odd reason we all opted to have almost the exact same thing, eggs.
I would have been more interactive and asked them more potentially annoying questions regarding their city but I had a major splitting headache at that time (for some reason, I always get headaches when I fly, must be the change in cabin pressures). I only managed to get one fact out of them while I was there, that is, there are practically no black people in Vancouver.
We didn't see ONE for the whole 3 hours while we were there, therefore there are none in Vancouver period
They dropped us back off @ the airport and told us to give them a call if we got stranded here for whatever the reason.
As we were walking to our gate, Ly kinda branched off into the direction of the seating area, while Steve and I kept walking, I was looking for a washroom and I guess he was just exploring. This "suspicious" activity caught the attention of a couple of wandering customs officers, who pulled us aside and questioned us, individually. He asked me questions such as where are you going, why am I going there, where will I be staying, how much money do I have on me, where do I do (I hate that question), etc. It seemed like this was going to go on forever!
After the game of 20 questions, I went to the washroom and secretly popped a few pills, found a comfy seat and passed out while watching the TFC game.
Woke up, boarded the plane, discovered that our seats were situated around the mid section of the plane where the emergency exits were. Pros: more leg room. Cons: Center mounted TV's had a glare on it, so therefore you couldn't watch much. If the plane snapped in mid air, we'd probably be the first to go.
