Go Places

So I had this awesome plan.

To blog while on the plane to Hawaii (I'm in Hawaii if you didn't know).

I got my laptop out, all ready to go, feeling good about the words that were about to be typed, when a huge wave of exhaustion hit me.

Side Note: I woke up at 5 in the morning after going to bed at 1. Whoops.


So suffice to say, the awesome blog I had planned did not happen, so now you're stuck with this last minute decision of a blog that might not live up to your expectations. It's still about my flight, so if that's what you really want to hear about, you're in luck.

Okay. This prologue is done.





Why is it that parents take their newborns on airplanes?
Oh you just had a baby? Shouldn't you be at home with it instead of bringing it on a flying, metal death trap?
No? You're just gonna let it cry the whole flight? Okay. Awesome...

Babies were crying during my flight, I'm not sure if you caught that. If I had to guess, there were at least 16 babies on board. Probably more like 2, but it felt like 16. With each new cry that came out, I grew more and more frustrated. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. I'll play peek-a-boo all day long, I don't care. But when they start to scream bloody murder...I'm gone. And when you're in an airplane, there is no escape. All hope is lost. You just have to sit there and hope that it goes away, which it eventually did, and I went back to thinking they were little angels.

Also.

Snack boxes saved the day.
Thank you, United Airlines.
You.
Rock.

I was close to starving (most likely a lie) when Matt noticed that snack boxes were being sold.
Goldfish?
Oreos?
Jelly Beans?
Salami?
Crackers?
Yes. It had them all, and I have never been so thankful for a cardboard box in my whole life.

Overall, pretty good flight.
Read some Scott Pilgrim.
Watched Flight of the Concords (Never realized how amazing that show was and am now planning on buying all of the seasons).
Slept instead of writing.

And now the fun begins. A week in Hawaii with some friends and one sister, and I cannot be more stoked. This summer is really looking to be the best yet.
