I write from mid air of my flight to Colombia. I just woke up from a series of catnaps, disheveled but slightly refreshed. I spent the majority of the flight sleeping as my restless mind last night only let me get about an hour of sleep before having to get up at 4 a.m. The flight has been pretty smooth…and I even got two seats for myself. But I’m starved. I have not eaten a thing because both of the meals they served consisted of some type of meat product. I don’t expect for an airline to cater to my vegetarian needs, but c’mon…not even a bag of peanuts? And this swine flu situation has seriously gotten out of hand. I feel like I am in a movie. All the flight attendants have those dental facemasks on. I don’t know whether to be offended or worried. But anyway, with less than an hour left of the flight I can already start to make out the mountaintops below me.
