I wrote this record while 30,000 feet in the air...


My row-mate is passed out and the two small children across from me are crying.  My boy Hugh Jackman was on screen in his Oscar winning role as a fake boxer in “Real Steel,” but they shut the movie off. Killin me Iberia Airlines! Also, I was trying to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic but an older sassy lady that lives in Spain was trying to sleep, and she had window privileges.  Borrrrinnggg.

Anywho, jump to later on, first flight went great (minus my butt being in serious pain), second flight was okay, and then, right after I picked up my bags, I caught a break! A girl in her mid-twenties and her guy friend were on both flights with me, and through a series of half-French, half-English convos they found out that I basically had no idea how I was getting from the airport to my host family.  So, they showed me how to do the metro thing, I rode with them half way to their destination and split off, and voilà, I’m sitting in my new room without having to pay taxi fares.  New friends on day one, noice!
Goodnight!
