First time flying (literally) solo

So today I flew on an aeroplane for the first time by myself. My friends drove me up to the airport and after saying many many stupid things in the car (because I only had 3-4 hours sleep) such as, ''Why don't they say open peanut? Or open walnut?'' - this was reference to the phrase ''Open sesame'' - I finally checked in and got through security.

I felt like throwing up the whole I went through security and when my bag beeped and the guy told me I had a pair of scissors in my bag I was terrified. Luckily they weren't sharp or long enough to be dangerous and he let me keep them but I seriously kicked myself for leaving them in my bag.

I thought airports would be complicated, but they're not. Until I actually boarded my flight and the plane took, I was feeling sick to the core. I barely took my eyes off of the screen as I waited in departures in case I missed my flight or it was delayed or was blown up or didn't arrive or something.

Finally the time came to board the plane. The air hosts and hostesses all had cute little German accents and one of them was wearing some cool 60s glasses. If I could plait my hair like her I'd be... someone who can plait hair really well, I guess.

Taking off was the best part. I chewed away at 2 pieces of gum to stop my ears from popping (almost wrote pooping then LOL) and grinned like a moron as the plane left the ground. Aw man, there is nothing like taking off in a plane. I was disappointed that the people next to me didn't share my excitement. The view from an aeroplane window is like no other... it was so dynamic and 3D and awesome! (I haven't flown in a while...)

I had a hot turkey and cheese sandwich thing. It was amazing. The guy next to me was from South Carolina and his wife was from Austria. I told him my life story and he told me nothing about himself and so I landed in Munich, Germany. As we left the plane the hosts and hostesses said what sounded like

''Bye-bye! Juice! Bye-bye! Juice!''

So here I am in Munich... still got to wait 1.5 hours until I fly out to Kiev, Ukraine. I have discovered interesting things here. For instance, I think I witnessed typical German humour earlier when I got lost and tried to exit the terminal and the guy who checked my passport said to me, ''I just don't want to work! I am so tired!'' And I'm like...

Also, sesame seed bread-sticks are wonderful. Aeroplane toilets are pretty good too, only in Munich the sensory taps don't always turn on. So much so for technology.

All in all, it's been a good trip. Flying in the sky left me in awe of God and His creation. The sky is a beautiful place to be... it's amazing how no one before the 20^th century ever got to see Earth's face through the clouds... I am so grateful that we are able to fly around the world now and see amazing people and places.

Looking forward to landing in Kiev tonight! :)
