I just had to cancel and re-book my Norway flights because some changes ended up making the original itinerary completely unworkable both coming and going. Lovely.

Like, "arriving at one location at 1400, to connect to a flight that left at 1030". And, "You said you wanted to go to Oslo? Too bad, that flight's going to London now, not as a connection but as your endpoint!" (WHAT).

It's all fixed now, and sure, the original one will be refunded, but... this isn't exactly how I intended to spend my evening! Not to mention that I got myself all worked up to make a phone call to Air Canada before deciding "fuck it, I'll just re-book it myself". If it weren't for the balls-crazy wait time, I might have sat on the line, but... well. Over an hour? No thanks. Apparently they're slammed right now. And I'm pretty sure it would have ended up having to be a cancel/rebook situation anyway.

The return trip is going to be a total milk run, too. Stavanger -> Copenhagen -> Frankfurt -> Toronto (I think?) -> Calgary -> Fort Mac. Lovely. Hopefully I won't get stranded overnight in Toronto or something - that's happened twice before.

It isn't that big of a deal, but I find that managing travel stuff is always stressful, and doubly so when it involves changes, in part because it involves a huge amount of money - just because I've saved up for this trip doesn't mean I can afford to juggle cash like this!

But I'm probably feeling extra annoyed over it because I'm still sick. Whine, whine, whine.

After this, there will be no more international trips for a good while. Just lovely, lovely Canada. Which can still be fussy, especially when going somewhere far away like Halifax or something, but it's a bit easier to deal with.
