FLYING HOME

Longest day of my life…just about 32 hours. My horoscope today actually says I will pack as much in a day as possible…and oh how right. The flight was long. On it were Kate, James, Jackie, and Kareem, who we had met in Shanghai. We actually almost missed it because the buses ACT ordered to pick us up at the hotel never showed (or showed later) so we needed to cab it last minute. And in all the confusion we didn't get to really say goodbye to Sunny...who I will likely never see again. Forver goodbyes are hard, so maybe it was for the best.

We stopped in Tokyo for five hours where we got some eats (yummy). The airport there, Narita, was very modern and very nice. I could definitely spend some time in Japan…
We flew over Alaska, at sunrise and it was so beautiful. It made the Alps look like a joke. All I could see were huge, powdery, white mountains and a few large glaciers. In between the mountains were either very low clouds or fog. They were so thick and moving so slow, in streams, that they looked like ocean waves. I think this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

We also had to wait in JFK for 5 hours. Some girl was gabbing on her cell phone about her nails and whether or not to wear panty hose to a wedding. Back to stupid American bull sh*t.

The trip was amazing! And I am sad to be home...but I’m sure I’ll be on my way soon to somewhere new…because I think I’ve caught the travel bug
