Flying Over The Pacific

As I write this, I'm somewhere close to, or crossing the International Dateline, close to Apia apparently. Where ever the fuck that is. [smile] Unfortunately the seat in front of me is reclyned, hence I can't even fully extend my laptop screen, which sucks a little. In anycase, I'm Tempe bound, about 4 hours into the flight to LA, with about 8 hours to go.

The last 24 hours have been pretty crazy, to say the least. On reflection, working all day Friday was a bad call. Given stuff that I still had to do (ie: pack), I should have gone in for the morning, and done a half day. Doing a full day, I came home feeling completely dead, but still needing to pack. Also if I had of done that, maybe I'd be writing this into my blog webpage, instead of Notepad. And maybe the person in front of my would stop reclyning their fucking seat! [smile] Okay, so that last one is a rant! [smile] But anycase, doing half a day would have been a good idea, because last night was pretty painful! [smile]

I did however get some packing done, before deciding to hell with it all, and crashing at 12am. Then up at 5am (or 5:30 as it turned out, to finish getting packed and ready to go. It's kinda felt like the most rushed pre trip affair, right up until boarding. Which is fine, I just remember much more chill out time last year. As a result it's been much harder to focus on and absorb what is going on. It's one of those things where it'll actually hit me once we hit Tempe! Not that it hasn't a little during the flight thus far. But on the way to the airport, and at the airport, it just seemed like there wasn't much time to process what I was doing.

The flight this morning, which was slightly delayed in boarding seemed, to me anyway - to board amazingly quickly. It's definately the fastest I've had in terms of that, and it seemed like at most 5 minutes after sitting down that we were taxi-ing to the runway.

It'll be great to be landing in Arizona, and particularly seeing Katie. Due to the crazyness of the last 24 hours, I've barely gotten to talk to her properly, which is weird when I'm travelling to see her. Talking last night and this morning was kinda rushed, and talking on the phone this morning pre flight was somewhat the same, as there wasn't much time before boarding.
