Left my Visa in Miami

Almost has the same ring to it as "I left my heart in San Francisco", I wish it had been that instead though. It wasn't until I was in Palm Springs the next day trying to pay for dinner that I realized the well used slot in my wallet was empty. I figure I must have paid for dinner the previous night, signed my receipt, but then neglected to remove my credit card from the little book the bill came in.

I promptly called Visa and declared the card lost, and started the process of getting a new card sent out to me. I started the process on Friday night, so the new card would have been batched out on Monday, but that was a holiday, so then sent out on Tuesday on a Purolator 1-2 day express package, but I have yet to receive it (now being the 2 day mark). I hope it comes tomorrow, it is my last day off and also I need to make an online purchase that has a sale which ends tomorrow.

My remaining days on call stayed pretty close to what I thought they would be. The only change was that instead of going to Tampa, we went to Miami instead. We left, snow and slush in Toronto and landed in a beautiful 24 degree clear night in Miami. We were only there for the night (just enough time for me to leave my Visa in the hotel bar), and then off to Kentucky for a pickup to take some horse buying folks to Palm Springs. After a night in Palm Springs, I hopped on Westjet to head back to Calgary direct on Saturday. Which was far nicer than the fate of the pilot who was sent down to replace me. All the direct flights were booked solid so he had to connect, TWICE, by going from Calgary to Edmonton to Los Angeles and then finally to Palm Springs. It took him 12 solid hours when it took me only just shy of 3 hrs on Westjet.

So now on a pretty relaxing 5 days off, which were definitely needed after a full 10 days on the road!

Oh, on a side note, my folks just called me and said I was summoned for jury duty in BC. I guess they're using some out of date voters registry or something, because I have been in Calgary for over 3 years now. Needless to say, I wont be serving on a BC jury any time soon!
