TEAM AMAZON...almost did not make it...bRRPP

Addiction to peanut butter...almost led to 11 people who were going to miss their flights and make a camp ground out of the Toronto airport.

What was the peanut butter connected to? ...Tim Hortons, the evil master of money collection in Toronto , Canada, and soon the world.

So we had a few members waiting eagerly for the joy that is peanut butter in an extremely lonnnnnnnnnnnnnng lineup. Later on we found out that the people in this line up were from a London flight that was delayed...due to lack of water on the airplane.

Their compensation? $12 worth of Free Tims. Now believe it or not, each person getting $12 is a heck of a lot of Tims. It was maddness all around.

By the time those members reached the glorious light, the last call to board had been made...but only a few others heard it...this led to scrambling on all parts. Us, the tims people, the londeners pushing us out of their way, the flight attendents threatening to toss our luggage off the plane, the lack of watches and clocks, and the general delirium of having to play the waiting game all day.

But. Fortunately, up above was looking out for us, and we made it to the plane just in time...16 packets of peanut butter in hand.

BOO YA!

Lessons learned:
- need more watches
- Pearson needs more clocks
- Attendents need to speak louder
- peanut butter puts you in sticky situations, Tims in even stickier ones
- DoƱ~t travel to London
- and of course, work on general communication skills.

But what served as an interesting experince, allowed a great learning opportunity.

We cannot wait for what adventures come our way next.
