Flight

So, as I take photos of the sun coming up outside the plane I think to myself, “Self, how beautiful is that and how crazy is it that you can leave one place in the middle of the night and be somewhere completely new and wonderful with a whole day ahead of you?” Well, ladies and gents, it’s outrageous.

Now I have to remind myself not to stare into the sun as I try to capture the brilliance that is sunrise at a mile high.

This entry and those to come are hopefully going to sound slightly more thought out than the previous ones because I want to look back at this and not cringe at how awkward I was or how terribly these were written.

I am going to continue this flight without the blissful distraction of sleep, watch the sunrise, contemplate whether what they served me really was chicken and not a very mutant cousin, and pretend that as I am writing this sentence the plane isn’t shaking like we’re about to meet a very unfortunate end… I imagine landing early and breezing through customs like it’s my job and obtaining my visa like I own the damn country. I see myself arriving at my host family’s home to find a cat who wants my affection and perfect weather conditions to go shopping for everything I need.

While I had my obligatory thoughts of canceling this whole thing and staying home in the comfort of my bed I am glad I took this leap of freedom. To be on my own, surrounded not only by the history of England but of all Europe, is a fantastic opportunity that most people never get the chance to explore. As always when I leave home for periods of time I know I’ll only appreciate it more upon return.
But for realz, this turbulence is kind of bugging me, come on people I’m trying to type here. Geez.

Ah, my In-Flight Movie Review:
Easy A- Meh, I could have lived without it but it was cute and I did like the ending because I’ve often wished for a Lloyd.

Eat Pray Love- Good, inspired me to return to Rome and made me want to travel for the rest of my life even if I can’t sleep on planes anymore.

That’s all I have for you lovely followers today…tonight? Whatever.

(Seriously, this turbulence is bringing back memories of bus rides home from Westford with the way it’s tossing my stomach around.)
