The Travails of Travel



Off to Missouri I go!
We're on time, and I walk out to the plane. 
(It's a small airport.)
Uh...excuse me, I was not told this was a 
prop-plane!!  I don't do prop-planes! 
Well, ok, I did as I really wanted to get where I wanted to be. 
So we taxied out and then sat...and sat...and sat...
Bad thunderstorms in the area...very bad...
I am muttering every prayer, spell, mantra...
I'm sure you get the picture!

Two hours later.......we were airborn.  
(And, you know all that stuff I muttered before?  
It was remuttered during our bumpy takeoff, believe me.)

Must say, when you fly at an altitude of only 
16,000 feet and just after a storm has gone through, 
the sights are amazing! Here's a taste of what
one sees looking down - just wait till you see the clouds and sky!
(just wait, 'k?)

  7. The only nice thing about all that is the view. I'm with you on the prayers and mantras. I hate it. And prop planes? God forbid!
