Traveling. It really is nothing glamorous. Planes are fun, and it’s been great to learn how to navigate through airports on my own, but I’m ready to be back on the ground. China Airline is fantastic, though! Compared to Continental, it really is quite the experience J Delicious hot meals, personal entertainment computers, polite stewardesses… it really is great. We will be landing in Taipei in a little over an hour, following a five-hour flight from Cleveland to L.A., and the 13 hour international flight that I am currently on right now. We’ll have to hurry to get on the next plane. I think we have less than an hour in the airport to make it through customs and onto the next plane, which I am a little nervous about. But I’m sure it will be fine.
Health is what concerns me the most when it comes to traveling. Really, it is the one fear that casts doubts in my mind when thinking about the work I really feel called to do. We have more medicine with us than I think I have ever seen in one place before. And if we are smart, I know we will be fine.
We already had a bit of a scare on the international flight. Eric passed out in his seat. He is fine, and it probably was due to dehydration or simply sitting for too long, but it was a good reminder that we need to take care of ourselves really well.
Also, a lady who helped Eric and I when he passed out was going to use the plane’s bathroom, when another woman walked in with her and tried to shut the door with both of them in there against her will. Luckily, Eric and I were right next to the bathroom and saw what was happening. I held the door open until a stewardess could come diffuse the situation.
Bizarre stuff let me tell you. And we haven’t even landed in Asia yet J
