Stranded in Houston!

For the next 9 hours I will be living in the Houston Airport. YAY layover!!! The view from here is grand!

Never mind the handicap sign, this is where I was told to sit.

Objective #1, find a better place to spend the night.

It was thrilling to fly again! ADD was at it's peak and found me switching between book, journal, laptop, on board movie, and magazine. The flight was less than an hour and a half long.

My favorite moment was watching ice crystals form on the window while listening to a quarter spin in my head on my new headphones. The live version doesn't do the song justice, as there is no quarter... but believe me, it was amazing.




The view of the Mississippi River was brilliant!

So far, I've chatted with a British couple who have informed me that there are no mosquitoes or spy glasses (peep-holes) in England.

At 6:30 in the morning I will fly to Newark, NJ and at 11:30 a.m. I will begin the 18.5 hour flight to Beijing.

Now for food and a comfortable place to play Guild Wars. I am tired.

I became deathly ill with something that is hurting my head and churning my stomach at the same time. I got your text but I didn't have the sense or strength to respond. I'll jump on now and see if I can still catch you in Ascalon.
