Such Great Heights

| This is somewhere between Little Rock and Cincinnati |
I know flying is an anxiety-ridden task for most people. I even have close friends that would rather drive 1,000 miles each way than get on a plane! So, maybe I'm just strange for saying this, but I love traveling by plane. And this is not a new obsession, because I've been a frequent flyer with skymiles ever since I can remember, but it's the breathtaking (literally) view that you can only get when you're flying so high that you look down upon the clouds.

| Purple haze filled the atmosphere yesterday |
On my first flight yesterday, I hit the jackpot by being able to sit over the wings and watch the sunset just as we were clearing the clouds. It's incredible to think that there was so much cloud cover that separated the passengers from everyone on land. I loved that moment when all of a sudden you break through the "turbulence" to look down upon it and see it in a whole new way. It doesn't look turbulent at all! From above it's a fluffy, soft blanket that moves in quiet, slight waves. With the appearance of the blinding sunset, the blanket has beautiful highlights and shadows and the sleek wing of the aircraft reflects what's becoming a softer light as the sun sinks lower below the clouds.
Now, that's a view you
definitely can't get on a road trip.
My carry-on bag always includes a light & funny book, the latest issue of Vogue and my laptop. However, these are my air travel essentials:
 |
| Sunglasses that block out sunlight for a nice inflight snooze |
 |
| A chunky cardigan, usually w/ a fun print |
|
 |
| Moisturizing hand lotion and lip balm |
