The Maple Leaf lounge at the Edmonton Airport is certainly not worth the money. Not enough air conditioning, not enough seats, pokey little bathroom, and loudmouths talking to the air on their Bluetooths (Blueteeth?).
We ended up going down to the gate where it was cooler and less crowded.
The Pods, now. They were interesting. Still not easy to sleep, but better than a regular seat, I guess. Except at take off, when you are not facing forward, so you're pushed back on a funny angle. I dozed for an hour or so, but Brian managed a good 3 hours of sleep. Go figure!
The food was horrendous. The wine was really good. The service was excellent.
Julie and Julia was NOT one of the movies offered, so I watched Robert Downey Jr. in The Soloist and then Sandra Bullock in The Proposal.
We are now in the BMI Lounge at HEathrow waiting for our flight to Edinburgh. It is lovely and big and cool... a nice glass of fizzy water and I might even grab an apple. Yeah right.
I am amazed at all the ritzy shops here -- if you were a millionaire you could live in this airport. But since we walked about 5 miles to get to this lounge, I think we'll just sit and try to cool down a bit.
