Flying

So one of the biggest things about this trip overseas I just took was that one, first time overseas, and two; my first time flying.
It was amazing. The thrill as the plane reved up, took off, and the swooping feeling and being free as the plane turned and dipped to get onto its flight path, it was all so amazing.
And the sights- oh the sights as you soar around the world are amazing. On the way there I saw some of the land below in New Jersey, but then just a glimpse of the ocean before it was obscured by the clouds.
Later on the flight there I caught a quick glimpse of Greenland, but on the way back I had hours to stare at the frozen antarctic land and the frozen Canandian land we flew over. It was amazing, seeing so much beauty below me.
Not to mention the stars as I flew in the night. We saw the moon too, but it was seeing it all so close that really got to me.
Seeing clouds below the wings of the plane, clouds covering your view of the land below. It was amazing.
I saw miles and miles of land in China, then Russia, all at night and lit up, just barely able to make out rivers and hills and it was so cool.
Though the landing there was hard because of wind, landing here at home was so smooth I wasn't even sure we were landing until the ground beneath us got larger and closer to my sight, lol.

I love flying :D
