Screw Flying ...I Want A Teleporter!
My flights were..well... interesting? Saying goodbye to my parents was probably the hardest thing ever to do but I gotta go solo eventually right? After that I had about an hour before they started to boarding my first flight (from Toronto to Vancouver - 5 hour flight) During the wait I didn't do much, just checked out all the little stores and checkd out all the people who were going to be on the same plane and choosing which ones i really hope im not stuck sitting beside LOL - i said no to the baby and the young children but yes to the monks (i just think theyd be cool to sit beside hahaha). Meanwhile they ended up cancelling the other flight and moving them on to the monster plane i'd be taking. Thankfully I lucked out and was sitting beside a really nice Australian old couple heading back home from the states where they were visiing family. Unfortunatly when I landed in Vancouver I ended up getting really sick- prob. just from exhaustion :S . When i got back on the plane for my second flight ( Vancouver to Sydney -~14.5 hour flight ) i really didnt want to do anything but sleep, so i put in my earphones and slept as best as i could considering i was on a plane. That was the slowest 14 hours of my life. I watched an insane amount of movies and listened to almost all the music they had on the plane lol. There was a huge wind storm happening all over Aust. so as we got closer we had alot of turbulance and even though we arrived in sydney a half hour early, we ended up circling the airport for over said half hour before we were able to land. Then between customs, getting my luggage, heading to the opposite side of the airport, checking in and security i had all of 5 mins to get to my gate before my 3rd plane (sydney to Brisbane -1.5 hrs) boarded. On an upside tho I swear to God they found the plane that wasin the most need of some oil and put us all on it lol. Again we were delayed about a half hour for the crazy wind which lead to horrible turbulance the entire flight over. Add that to the plane making wierd creaking/squeaking noises everytime the wings adjust etc., and sitting in the middle of a smelly old guy and some young marine (who i think doesnt do well with flying - altho i cant blame him with this plane) and that was the worst plane ride of my life. Sigh. As soon as i got off the plane tho Nathan <3 was there with a beautiful bouquet of daisies with pretty purple flowers mixed in and the biggest smile ever just for me. :D . that made the horrible planes well worth it. After that it was just the matter of getting my bags and heading back to Nathans so that i could sleep, which i did for a solid 16 hours ..stupid jet lag lol So all in all I have one year in which to invent/find/buy a transporter so that i no longer have to deal with this crazy flying buisness.
