I love it - but I also find it to be infinitely more enjoyable when I have a window seat. There's so much to see (and if you look for something, you're far more likely to see it). Once I even saw a sundog from ABOVE it! It always amazes me how people can just get on a plane, close the window shade, and go to sleep.

Can't get enough of looking out of the window while flying. Which does mean I'm sitting here rather tired after flying back to Australia from a two week trip back to the UK yesterday! Worth staying awake for as just in the last, err, lets say 3 days, i've seen:
The Arctic ocean in twilight at local midnight, Snow on the Ural Mountains, The vast wilderness of Siberia, The worlds longest suspention bridge (Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Kobe) (landing at Kansai), Dolphins off the Australian coast while on approch at Brisbane, All the sights of Sydney, Harbour bridge, Opera house, etc. Worth spending all that time squashed inside a metal cylinder! Only problem is I now have two weeks of all your posts to catch up on! Slow down guys! James -------------------- |
