Day 1: Flight

11.14.2008 // Fun, Life // Lee McKusick // No Comments

I love flying. I love it so much I put up with the long delays, the cramped seats, and the horrible pretzels they serve. I deal with the overbearing security and the stuffy cabins. I endure it all for the pure joy of speeding down a runway and severing your connection to the earth. The sight of rising above the clouds, even out a tiny window, is simply astounding.
My heart is overflowing with joy and anticipation of where this gorgeous journey is taking me…

…and no, I don’t mean the stopover in Atlanta.

P.S. Ooh! Lightning in the distance! This flight just keeps getting more and more awesome!

P.P.S. It’s so weird seeing a small bit of cloud hovering in midair when you’re level with it.

P.P.P.S. This will likely be a teaser post. The hotel has free wi-fi, and the WordPress app for iPod/iPhone is awesome. The ship on the other hand does not have free wifi, but I can still write and just mass upload at the end.
