I'm sure it was very comforting to have the choir sing "The Lord's Prayer" right after a frightening drop in your plane.

I don't think any physics talk to talk me into flying at this point in my life though, and I'm sure I'm missing out on a lot. I'm quite content watching the clouds from the Earth. But your story and photos somehow make me want to soar up there for a while!! ☺☺♥Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-18476385501288149802022-10-20T10:25:32.856-06:002022-10-20T10:25:32.856-06:00My husband and I have always travelled by sea most...My husband and I have always travelled by sea mostly, sometimes by plane. The sea journeys have been four to five week ones when we were going to live in another country, and have been absolutely beautiful for us. On one of the plane journeys we did to Canada we experienced a big drop because of the weather, and it was not nice. There was a choir on the plane and they started singing the Lord's prayer. We arrived at our destination on time.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-77603436766810869102022-10-18T05:12:43.734-06:002022-10-18T05:12:43.734-06:00what a magical sharing dear Louise .

Let me be a more precise here - I dislike the time spent in airports, delays and all the stuff happening before you even enter the plane. The flights itself are okay as long as they are under 6 hours. Those long flights back home to Europe are not that much fun, but unfortunately there is no alternative.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-30737891911598434702022-10-16T08:29:31.085-06:002022-10-16T08:29:31.085-06:00Hi, David!

But I enjoy airports and flights, and the positive outweighs the negative by far. If stranded, I can always buy a new book and read it while nursing a glass of wine. Have a great week!

I have been to Denver International and Harry Reid(though I am quite certain it wasn't called Harry Reid when I was there) airports. Those pictures are not in my computer, however, as they were back when you got prints from your camera. Heaven only knows where I have stashed them. Flightscapes as I will call them are wonderfully entertaining and help pass the time on a long flight (20 from here to Bangkok). I love watching sunrises and sunsets from up there as well. I was in my 20's before I flew anywhere and, like you, I was very nervous at first. I wasn't lucky enough to sit next to a U.S. Navy structural engineer, I just had to learn from experience that I probably wasn't going to die today :) This was a great post, Louise ... Loved every picture and all of the commentary :)<br /><br />Andrea @ From the SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-48700753912848237602022-10-14T19:59:07.953-06:002022-10-14T19:59:07.953-06:00I'm learning that lots of people, like you Som...I'm learning that lots of people, like you Soma, like to take pictures from a plane.

I remember flying back from Hawaii once at night, and the stars in the sky were brilliant and reflected in the ocean. I couldn't tell where the sky ended and the ocean began. It's one of my favorite memories of flying. My first flight was when I was six, very young like you, and I'll never forget breaking through the clouds for the first time. I hope that you and George have a wonderful weekend together!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-65645979058576945052022-10-14T19:47:23.531-06:002022-10-14T19:47:23.531-06:00Hi, Tom!

I don't mind waiting in airports. I can entertain myself endlessly. Everyone else is sitting around waiting to board, but I'm all over the place taking pictures, exploring in the bookstore and shops, having a glass of wine. Twice, two years in a row, during long layovers in Denver before I ever knew I would live here, I did my Christmas cards while flying from Wichita to Calgary via Denver. There is always something interesting to see, and I don't sit well. Fortunately I'm a little person, so I usually don't feel squeezed up against big people. I always feel sorry for people who are crammed in seats too small. I blame that on the airlines! Have a fun weekend!

Southwest delivered them to our hotel at 2:30 in the morning. And they give you free snacks! Have a great weekend!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.com
