Hi!
Right now, I'm flying over Afghanistan- pretty crazy to think about, and it's 20:14 in Chennai. We hope to arrive a little before midnight.
My first flight lasted around 2 hours, a baby flight, I was quick to realize. Next, I flew to Frankfurt from D.C, and met one other member of the BCA group. We actually arrived half an hour early, after being in the air seven and a half hours. But wait, it gets better! On my second large flight, since noon today, I've officially been in the air eight-ish hours. 8?! Really?! Only two more to go!
What a pretty sunset, though. If I crane my neck around the sleeping people, I can see it behind us.
I have had great flight experience so far, minus the whole lack-of-sleep-thing. I think I've managed to sleep around one and a half hours to Frankfurt and hope to get three plus total here. It's pretty quiet, too, which is nice.
One of the things that has made the trip more enjoyable and the time pass more easily, are the people I get to talk to around me- yeah, Kristen talking... again?!
I met Jason, who works for the DoD (which I learned, is the Dept. of Defense) and he was going to Kuwait. Then, I sat next to a German professor and another girl ironically going to Chennai.
Lastly, I've shared sitting space with someone from Florida who is visiting Kerala (his home state, or sorts, or so I've gathered). He hasn't been able to sleep too well, like me, but he's snoring now! :)
He's been very helpful for me, telling me of some indian things I should know and simply making conversation.
There are many more adventures to come,
stop by when you can!
