Crazy start to my trip

So I arrived at the airport with plenty of time... I checked my bags, the 3rd bag that I brought along full of stuff to give away to the children cost me $225.... that was insane and the fiasco Icaro and I went through trying to pay for it was ridiculous.  Lets just say Air Canada does not have great customer service.  Its time for me to go through security and after a mini tearful goodbye lol I walk through the check and as my bag goes though the scanner, I get pulled over to the side..... I left spray on after sun in my carry on.  Hello!!!!!  I know better than that.  The security guard had to take it out to Icaro (thank God Icaro knows me well, he was still watching to make sure I got through the gates ok) 
  I thought well it can only get better.....nope not a chance.  As we were waiting for the plane to arrive my name gets called to the gate.  Whoo hoo I thought the plane is over sold and I am going to move to first class... ha ha nope yet again not my luck.  I get moved 8 rows up from Brandi and Hannah with whom I am travelling.  It worked out for the better though as there was an empty seat between myself and my new friend in which I aquired on the plane.  A vet, who is picking up and moving to Dubai.  Gave me her email address and told me to come visit sometime.
  Onto our next flight Frankfurt to Addis Ababa, we were the 2nd to last seat on the plane and when it came time for dinner..... nothing left but curry lamb... those who know me well, can imagine how well that went over.   I am not a picky eater in the least but lamb is something I can NOT stomach.
  Did I happen to mention the lady making Icaro and I wait to pay for the 3rd piece of luggage forgot to put my luggage tags on my ticket and  when I mentioned it to the same man who moved me seats told me there was nothing he could do but write the numbers down...sooooo I almost didnt get out of Addis Ababa airport with my luggage.
