Had an amazing experience yesterday. A friend from work has a cousin who works as a controller at Pearson Airport. We drove up to the airport for around 7:00pm.
We met up with her cousin and we started our amazing tour, first of the terminal.
Seeing all the screens was amazing – hard to compute the enormous amount of information.
As I usually do, I made fudge for the tower folks:
I was happy to see it didn’t last very long!
After chatting with the amazing folks in the terminal, we were taken over to the tower:
Before going upstairs, we took a piddle break. The view from the bathroom was amazing:
Each bathroom was for one person only. Since two of us REALLY needed to go, I decided to discretely go in the mens:
When I walked out, a guy gave me a rather strange look, as he walked in. Oops!
Needless to say, the view from the tower was awesome:
It was so great to chat with the controllers – what a great group. They too got a batch of fudge. I believe I mentioned a few times on the way down “LYZ – clear me through the zone!” I guess we’ll find out if it worked out or not the next time I fly through Toronto.
We were also given a tour of the gym downstairs:
Then it was back to the terminal. Here’s my photobomb:
Absolute blast. We are so appreciative of the time taken to give us the amazing tour. Thank you!!!
Today’s symptoms: Needless to say, my fatigue level was quite high after all of the excitement yesterday. Totally worth it though! Had tons of MS-related pains in my arms, plus the MS hug hit a few times too. I’m pretty sure tomorrow will be much better, after a good sleep.
