In the air

This is the longest flight of my life, 14 hours and 30 minutes. We flew over the Great Lakes,  up over Toronto, and I slept over most of Canada.  When I opened the window again, it was like the world had been drained of color.  Over Alaska, we had some turbulence that made me question the logic of a big metal flying machine full of very fragile beings.

When we got out over the Pacific Ocean, our ride finally settled down.  I looked down at the water it was like I was looking up at the sky on a bright summer day.  It was so clear and peaceful.

We lost a day as we came over the international date line but it will be waiting for us when we come back. We are flying over the Baring Sea as I type this and I can see Russia from my seat.

Korean Air has been pleasant to fly on. The flight was not full, so dad and I got 3 seats to ourselves.

They gave us a toothbrush, toothpaste, and funny paper thin slippers. There are movies to watch, tunes provided and I have knit almost half a sock.  That all said my legs and butt are tired of sitting and I am ready to get off this plane.
