Hey everyone, currently
on my 8th hour of a 15hr flight. This is the longest
flight I have ever done, and I think I am starting to get cabin
fever. Eeeek. When you get excited to hear Jackson five and Madonna
and don’t care that people see you dancing in your seat I think it
is safe to I am slowly going insane.
I'm on my way to New York
having broken up the rest of the journey slightly over the last
couple of days. I began in Auckland on Wednesday flying to
Melbourne. This flight was not too bad only 6hrs. Then on Saturday I
flew from Melbourne to Shanghai (11hrs) having a 15 hour lay over in
Shanghai. Which was slightly surreal. I was staying at a hotel at the
airport but was not in the least bit tired so ventured into the city
to look for food. Definitely an experience in it self.
And then today I began
the last part of my journey flying from Shanghai to New York, and
that's currently where you find me writing this. I have managed to
sleep for about 2hours of my time so far but now wide awake. I have
watched a movie on my laptop, tried to read a book and been beaten by
my phone at solitaire a lot. Only another 7 hours of boredom to go.
:) For the last two hours I have been flitting between two thoughts/
The first being food; Pringle’s, French fries, four cheese pizza
and bagels loaded with cream cheese. Oh my goodness, heaven. Its a
good job its all American food that I'm craving as I will certainly
be on the hunt this evening for all of the above. My second thought
is I am claustrophobic what the hell am I doing in this plane for
15hrs this is hell. ARGH. (it's a shame sailing is so expensive and
takes so long that would be so much better than this)
On the bright side
though we seem to be chasing sunsets and sun rises around the world
at the moment so the view outside my window is pretty incredible.
Well I guess it's back
to the flight I go. If I ever mention to anyone in the future that I
am planning on embarking on a 15hr flight, please, please stop me
from booking. Or at least make sure I go with an airline that
provides entertainment at my seat and has Pringle's on board.
Awkward
See you all in New
York.
Katie.
