Friday, July 13, 2007 entry

First off let me say that I think the whole airport security thing is a game...it's a crazy game that the FAA, TSA and counter agents decide on...maybe even the airlines. How else would it be $25 to pay for a heavy bag, but $80 to pay for a carryon because it counts as the 3rd bag? Who decided that ziploc bags for your microscopic toiletries would stop a terrorist for opening that same ziploc once he gets on the plane? GEEZ! As if getting completely undressed for a flight isn't enough. Once we were on the flight I figured the Friday the 13th bad luck was over cause we arrived at Pearson International and were picked up by Ilahi in our Lincoln Towncar (AIRLINK LIMO SERVICE, TORONTO). Then we pulled up to THE PANTAGES HOTEL & SPA....We're talking lavish! Doormen/security that look like secret service men with dark suits and earpieces opening your door, grabbing your bags, taking photos of you, waiting for you at the lobby and then, bringing up your things for you...even returning later to "make up" the sofabed for you!

With not much time to spare we head straight to the spa for our 4pm appointments. After 3 hours i was mellow, until the lady doing my nails clipped the cuticle a little too low, I guess, cuz it wouldn't stop bleeding! Needless to say, the manicure couldn't be completed and I had to leave ticked off...defeating the purpose of getting a lavendar scrub, envelopment and massage!

An evening walk and dinner cleared my mind after complaining to the manager via email. Tomorrow I will return to have the manicure completed.
