I'm in heaven..

Or maybe this is as close as I'll ever get. Haha, just kidding Tita.

This picture was taken out of the window over Cleveland. It's neat to see the city down below. I could barely make out a car and the trees look like bushes.

Not sure if I like riding in planes. Sigh. There goes any chances of me being a celebrity. First plane left from DFW to Ohio, second plane left from Ohio to New York. Coming home same thing. I don't like the feeling of the plane as it takes off, going up in the air. Just one of the reasons I don't ride roller coasters. I really didn't like when the pilot would turn the plane. A couple of times there, I thought the pilot might have fallen asleep and no one was flying the plane. When you near your destination the pilot slows down and pulls the plane down to lower the altitude. When the plane slows down(in midair) it feels like its going to stop all of a sudden. It's just for a few seconds but still! The engines don't sound as loud and you kinda feel like your falling because the plane is lowering.

Once you're in the air it's okay(besides any turns). It was for the most part a smooth ride. On one of the rides back home we went thru a lot of clouds. I couldn't see anything out the window. Larry laughed at me because I told him, "if I can't see anything out the window, neither can my pilot". I learned that it's better if you can withhold going to the bathroom, do it. It's as big as a stand alone shower. You could sit on the potty and touch the sink at the same time. And it just looks and smells DIRTY. Ughhh!! Larry laughed at me when I said I had to go to the bathroom because he knows what a germaphobe I can be sometimes.

Oh, and planes aren't like the ones you see in the movies. They're really small on the inside. No elbow room. You pretty much have to stay in one position. Thank goodness it was Larry next to me and I could take up some of his space.heehee

Being on top of the clouds is cool. I took lots of pictures because I knew Sam would get a kick out of them. Although always in the back of my mind I did tell myself, it's a looong way down if this plane goes down. I'm like my Mom, always thinking the worst.

Yes, I would get on a plane again, especially if it means vacation. Like they always say, you are more likely to die in a car accident than from an airplane going down. Next time I'll just have a few drinks before I go.
