Heathrow Airport, British Airways Customer Service Desk
Polar: Wait, so what are you saying?
British Airways: I am saying that since you missed your flight, your only option is to rebook. Rebooking to get you to Helsinki tomorrow will cost you…. 3000 GBP.
Polar: 3000 pounds?!
British Airways: Each.
Lolo: Wait, so we can't go to Finland because we were sixty seconds late?
British Airways: It's Easter. Every flight is booked. Sorry.
Polar: So basically we're screwed.
British Airways: Basically... yes.
Let’s back up.

Polar: Hey, do you wanna go to the arctic circle on a husky safari?
lolo: Maybe. Sounds cold. I hate cold.
Polar: But look at all the doggos!
lolo: brb. Requesting time off work.
December 2016 - Boston
Polar: You know getting to the husky farm is actually pretty tricky. We have to take a 2 hour flight North from Helsinki and then ride another 2.5 hours on a bus that only goes twice a day. We have to time it just right.
lolo: Okay, let's just book the huskies first and figure out the details later.
January 2017 - Boston
Polar: Check it out, I found these flights to and from Helsinki that work for everything we need.
lolo: bae...hang on. Look at this first. This is a bad idea, right? Right? We definitely shouldn't do this, right?
Polar: brb. Rerouting us through London
lolo: You realize we have tickets to Sohn the night before this? Also Make it New after Sohn…
Polar: That works fine. There is a 7 AM flight Friday morning. We'll go to the airport after I finish with Project Pablo/Make It New duties, sleep on the plane, and arrive in London 8 PM London time. We'll shower, eat, and be dancing in Corsica Studios by midnight.

Hyde Park
lolo: That homeless man’s five French bulldogs were ADORABLE.
Polar: I am not sure he was homeless.
lolo: He just told us a story about getting into trouble for building a fire in Hyde Park to dry out his clothes.
Polar: Maybe he was just a hipster.
11 AM Saturday, April 1st - London
lolo: We have time to go buy stockings at that store that doesn't exist in the US before our flight. Right?
