5:30 am CST
(at the airport) Got about 3 hours of sleep last night. Luckily I woke up on my own, since the alarm clock was absurdly quiet.
6:00 am CST
In the plane FINALLY. Taxiing out to the Runway. One stop in DC, then off to London. Fuck travelling, srsly.
8:50 am EST
Landed and quickly got off the plane. The plane to london had already started boarding, so I hurried over there and got on. I’ll be damned if I get stuck somewhere again. Now just waiting for takeoff. They have video screens in the headrests. About 7 hours until I’m in London, only 11 hours late.
7:10 pm GMT -1
Only an hour and a half left in the flight. I managed to sleep for what I think was about 3 hours, but I can never really tell on planes. The stewardess nearly missed me for lunch/dinner? I had to get out of my seat and track her down for my food. Am i seeing a theme for this trip? The map function on this video screen is pretty nifty. Not only does it show location, but also airspeed, altitude, ambient air temperature, and distance travelled/remaining, which is nice since my GPS doesn’t seem to get a signal in the plane.
9:30ish pm GMT
Landing now. Always fascinated by crushed pop bottles due to pressure changes.
(Reflections): Travel days are pretty much just lame. I went to sleep shortly after getting to the hostel. Nothing to see here folks, move along. These are not the droids you’re looking for.
