When you go into a situation with no expectations there is both blessing and curses. At first when you don't realize just how long your flight really is, there is bliss. Then somewhere over Greenland when your night is becoming there day, thus begins the wages of air travel!
The spaciness, the hunger, the food. In general it went fine, but man it took so long. We were spared by a Barrackite from San Francisco who showed us mercy in sharing her fruit with a very hungry Ellie. A blessing. Then 2 minutes before touch down, this same woman decided to stretch and do a yoga performance in the aisle for all to see. A curse.
Full lavoratories.
Full bladders.
Watching 27 Dresses 27 times
Kids not sleeping, preparing to save meltdown for a foreign land.
Getting so hungry that you eat like an animal.
Realizing when the air turns un-fresh that everyone on the plane did too.
My name is Gabe Acosta
and this is the longest day of my life.
