I second that, I can't got a year without seeing some hockey
Good Luck!! I married a planner and it takes all the fun out of surprises!!

Hopefully your DD isn't an extreme planner yet and can still appreciate your surprise!! (If she doesn't, maybe she can appreciate all the planning that went into surprising her

)
Wow, can't believe it took a half an hour to check your bags at the curb. Well, I think a line for people who don't have to get boarding passes printed should speed things up. But it may come down to whatever line is shortest when you get there. It doesn't sound like you have to pre-register for it and commit to using it ahead of time. At the very least you can bypass the skycaps knowing there will be the kiosk and dedicated line inside.
