The Flight...

                    To my adoring fans and followers, the countable 3... :P :D :) I apologize for my tardiness in updating my blog... So here's my first blog post after my long vacation in Sri Lanka...
              What do we think about flying??? Before flying existed, people had to resort to ships and perhaps hot air balloons, or even blimps. Our world is changing sooo fast, especially the way we look at things and so there is almost always a constant wave of new things coming our way, take for instance the new iphone...
            Traveling with friends is pretty much the best way to travel, but traveling all by yourself is sometimes an excruciating experience especially the long haul flights with the connections. I had to make 2 connections and the overall trip basically lasted over 24 hours... I flew Jet airways on one sector and the other was Air Canada, but I must say I enjoyed the AC sector. Flights can get really full and sometimes you may even feel claustrophobic, which happens when the air conditioning is on the low down, but this almost never happens. Leg SPACE!!!!!! There should be even space to twist your feet in whatever direction possible, after all you need to keep the blood in your lower extremities moving... If your one of those people who enjoy walking about aisles, well good for you but look out for turbulence... I always wondered what would happen if there was severe turbulence and someone was in the toilet at the time. :P :P :P....
            What do we think about flight food?... I enjoy the food on a flight... I actually do... at least 90% of the time... I especially love the snack (the wrap) provided close to decent on the Air Canada flight... Unfortunately the wrap is not sold retail!!! It is only sold wholesale and from the UK!!!
                When I take a flight, I prefer the window set... This allows me to enjoy the amazing view from around 40 000 feet up in the air and this avoids moving about for the individuals who wish to use the washrooms every 15 min. The pitfalls of this seat which I encountered this time is when the eager beavers seated next to me, wish to enjoy the same scenery... Fortunately I'm not selfish and I will share the window, but when it involves someone who clearly needs a breath mint... "EMMMERF."   Life at 40 000 or whatever feet is prettty awesome....
When morning comes...
                                                                             
                 Enjoying oneself on a flight is the most important thing and kudos to both airlines for a gr8 selection in movies!! The closest thing to the best feeling aboard an air craft is when you’re just about to doze off to sleep. THEN SUDDENLY you hear a baby crying!!!! I can't wait to have a family and take them on a flight... Each and every one of you must get to know that feeling!! :P
             Being frisked is the best part of flying... When they feel the need to even examine your zipper... "oh!! OHHHHH okie!!!!" now that's uncomfortable!!!!... But honestly a big thanks to the mates at the security counters for helping make flying SAFE, that is from the human factor. After a long wait to be frisked and felt up you need to RUN!!! to your connecting flight... especially when your transit is only 3 hours at that airport... What the travel agent doesn’t tell you is that the plane will land at 7am but it will only actually allow you to disembark when it gets to the terminal... so maybe even 15-30 minutes later... So short transits are risky, you may end up missing the flight... I checked in with only 2 minutes to spare... *sigh*
                              But when your back home and just enjoying your own sheets and pillows... "hmmmm" There's obviously no place like HOMEEEEEE....
