Joys of Traveling

I forgot I was traveling down to NJ this week. Then I remembered but forgot that since the meeting started at 8 am I wasn't just going down and back for the day but going down the night before.

I ended up flying United and boy do they have some learning to do. It took forever for them to board and unboard the plane. It took double the time other airlines take. I was just thankful I wasn't having to be anywhere on time. Otherwise I would be frustrated with the whole system.

Then, we pulled away, from the gate and the de-icer came over. It was my first time being slimed! They sprayed orange slime all over the plane. It was oozing down the windows and everything.

We made it up into the air, through the stormy, snowing clouds and burst out above. It always amazes me that there is a whole other world above the clouds. That below it's all stormy and dark and above it's just beautifully sunny, light and airy. I always wish I could touch the clouds we're flying through.

As I unpack, I realize that I also forgot to pack some pjs. I remembered flip flops and my flat iron, but forgot my pjs! And my alarm clock. The good thing is I have my phone that has an alarm. I figured out I could set it to go off with the sound of a song. So I set it to go off with Gangnam Style. What a way to wake up!
