"Ah, you bought the three day advance ticket. That means it might cost a lot when I change your ticket."
"How much do you think? Not like five grand or something, right?"
"Don't know... Around eight hundred dollars."
"Nice..."

We missed our flight.

It all starts at 5:30am when crazy alarms go off, you don't quite know what's going on but you know that it's the start of a week of excitement, games, people, lots of people, and hopefully lots of fun. You expect with getting up so early, preparing for the trip over the weekend and generally being well planned you'll get there on time but alas no. There's no big story of rush, leaving a passport on a photocopier, bombing through Montreal's streets at ridiculous speeds or anything of the sort, just simple lateness meaning we missed our flight's check-in and are currently buying new tickets. E3, one of the biggest videogame shows in the world and we're grounded in Montreal as we arrived just after check-in closed.
