Paging Sarah Taylor

We were worried when we ran into a traffic jam on the highway on the way to the airport with Sarah for her return trip to Canada.

Fortunately, we got through fairly quickly.  We got to the airport in lots of time.  There was no one in the check-in line at Westjet.  Sarah checked her bag and picked up her boarding pass.

Barb had been busy on the drive from home to the airport trying to finish knitting a complicated scarf for Sarah.  Time was ticking.  Barb continued to knit in the airport lobby. Sarah wanted to get through security and to her gate.  We told her she had lots of time. 

Barb finished the scarf and took some pictures of Sarah wearing it.

Then we went to security.  Since we were sitting on the other side of the lobby, we hadn’t seen the line-up at security.  It was very long and moving very slowly.

Fortunately, they put a couple extra guards on to make more lines.  Sarah got through security with ten minutes to get to her gate.  But she had to take a train to the other terminal.  Then her gate was at the very end of the terminal.

Barb and I was Sarah go through security and waved good-bye.  Then we went to look at the departure board.  It said the flight was in last call.  We waited for a little while and then the board said the gate was closed.  We were worried that Sarah had missed the flight.

We waited for the flight to take off.  Then went home half expecting to arrive home to find that Sarah had called us to come back to the airport and pick her up. 

When we got home Sarah had messaged us.  She said she made it to the gate three minutes before it closed.  The public announcement system was paging her as she arrived.
