Feeling at home

Long ride home. Two hours with Prachie and Rachel to Boston, 6am trip to Logan, 2hr flight to Detroit, 4 hour layover, 14 hour flight to Osaka, 1 hr layover, 2.5 hours to Taipei and an hour trip back from the airport. Its funny how much I like the experience of long cross pacific flights. Its usually a tiring prelude before long flights, a tough semester at school, a long week of work, a long time away from home and these flights are my time to take some time for myself not having anything else to do or that I CAN do on the flight besides read, watch, sleep and eat. After all of the stress of checking in, lugging around bags, getting through security I love being able to find your seat, sit down, kick off the shoes, reflect, read, write, watch movies. The anticipation of seeing a loved one, visiting someplace new is always good but I really do enjoy the serenity of being on a plane.

So that 24 hours to Burundi tomorrow is gonna be a piece of cake!
