Cancun

Alright, I know you all have been to Cancun, Mexico or will be going one day in your lives, maybe even more than once. It is an awesome place to have fun, party, and lay on the beach. Our layovers are pretty good there. We are at least 5 different crews because of the numerous flights we have per week across Canada. The weather there is always consistent, 30 degrees and mainly sunny. The ocean is turquoise and the sand is white. It is a good all inclusive destination and they have everything near by for drinks, food, and dancing. What more can I say about this place.. It is a great sun destination for those who want to keep busy during their vacation.

I have this one favourite place that I want to share with you. It is called Tycoz and it is the best sandwich and coffee place in Cancun by far. It is on Blvd Kukulcan. Small place in a grungy area but it is amazing. Try the tuna sandwich with a cappuccino and you will fall in love I guarantee it. No one speaks English there but you can get by with the orders. You won't pay more than $8 US and you will be full.

Alright if you want to know more you can ask. I recommend Old Cancun for food and take the bus tp get there. For partying, drinking, and dancing go to Coco Bongo, obviously.

Enjoy!

Funny Story

Alright so I just got back from a 4 day pairing with an amazing crew! We had one layover in Orlando, Florida which was the highlight of the entire pairing. We went to this restaurant called Bonefish Grill which was pretty amazing. I was surprised by the quality of their fish. In Orlando we stay close to the airport, about 15 minute drive. I personally wish we were closer to the beach, however, the hotel has a pretty good pool and a liquor store is right across which we can BYOB by the pool!

The funniest story I heard at the dinner table is something that has to be told. All of a sudden one of the other Flight Attendants went on with a funny/scary story about another Flight Attendant. It goes like this... A girl was doing a favour to her friend by babysitting her dog while she was gone on vacation. The second day the dog didn't look so good and she was worried. All of a sudden the dog is laying on the kitchen floor not moving and not responding. She tries to call the owner but no one picks up and she had no car with her to bring the dog to a vet. She later decided to grab the dog and place him in a carry-on and carry him to the vet. At this point she realizes the dog is gone to heaven. When she gets to the bus station a man helps her get the suitcase onto the bus. As he lifts it up he asks her: "What is in this bag! It's rather heavy!". She replies: "It's school stuff like my laptop, books, pencils...". She was fumbling to find heavy items that would explain why her suitcase was so heavy. Her stop was up and the man who helped her get her carry-on on the bus was also getting off and helped her again. He then punched her in the face and stole the suitcase.

This is a true story. Yes I know... Quentin Tarantino style. Didn't see that one coming. Anyway, had to share that. Hope it entertained you as much as it did for me.

Safe flying!

1st

So I decided to blog about being a Flight Attendant. Really? A Flight Attendant? That's the first thing I said when someone suggested the job to me. I had all these career plans ahead of me after I had finished my BComm Degree at McGill University but all that changed when I first sat in an office from 9:00am to 5:00pm. What a long day that was! I told myself: "is this how life is going to be from now on?". What a shock! I had found an Executive Assistant position for a non-profit organization. Working there was taking a toll on me. I wasn't myself anymore and my bubbly attitude slowly was drifting away. When one of my board of directors suggested being a Flight Attendant and move my way up the ladder, I said "why not!". I applied the next day and three weeks later got the call and the interview and quit my job all at the same time. What an experience! By the way quitting is awesome!

Being a Flight Attendant is amazing and I will post once a week to update you on my adventures and the places I get to go to. Hopefully you don't find this boring! If you do just stop reading and move on!

Thanks!
