Pre-trip thoughts

---

By this time tomorrow I'll be at the Houston airport rushing to my connecting flight to Buenos Aires. I'm so excited for the trip - everything is packed and ready to go, and I really think I avoided overpacking. Maybe. I'm looking forward to reading trashy magazines in the airport like People and Us Weekly. And for the flight, I picked a book about a 19th century whaling ship that sinks, leaving the crew to paddle across the sea in life boats for 3 months. So however tedious the flight may be, I can always bear in mind that at least I don't have scurvy.

The in-flight food will probably be better than on those lifeboats too!
Hi B, You're reading 'In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex'? That's a great book about a terrible tragedy at sea. I myself think about the hardships those men faced when I'm feeling the least bit uncomfortable on a sailboat, and I then whatever situation I'm in doesn't seem so bad...especially the food. I hope your journey South is a good one. Keep up the posts. Buena suerte!
