On Tuesday morning, I headed down to Florida for a week and a half to see my dad in the hospital and spend time with the fam.

Had the front seat in the middle row. Nice to have so much room on a long flight.

Who's ready for a family reunion?

Saddest reason for having extra-elbow room ever. Solo trip to Vancouver ROUND 2!

After arriving at the airport, Meredith checked in at the ticket counter and the person at the counter pointed out that her passport had expired.

Neck pillows? Check! Ready for the thirty-hour trip back.

Excited.

Up, up and away! See ya later, Yankee winter!

Hahaha. On my flight back to NYC from Abu Dhabi I sat next a restless, grumpy older man from somewhere in Africa. He couldn't seem to get to sleep and opted to eschew the airline-provided sleepmask in favor of dramatically re-throwing a huge blanket over his head and sighing EVERY TWENTY MINUTES FOR THE ENTIRE FOURTEEN-HOUR FLIGHT. Hahaha. Here's me giving him very worst stinkeye after he elbow-jostled me awake for the TENTH TIME!

Here's my greasy-ass hair. (And if you look closely, you'll see the beginnings of my mustache coming in that makes it look like I need someone to clean my top lip with a hot washcloth).

Flight number two! Dubai to JFK.

Sooooo excited!

My eyes feel like tired!

Two hours later and we're back on the runway, rested-up and ready to fly to Grand Cayman!

Two more hours later and I'm conked the fuck out. Meredith managed to slyly sneak my camera out of my pocket to capture me in all my gape-mouthed glory.

Three hours later and we're in the air and headed to Texas!
airplane + me
And we're airborne! Japan, here we come!

...boarded our plane.

Here's another one. This one's my pensive and artsy "I'm acting like the camera's not there, but clearly I must know it is because I'm the one who took the picture" picture. Who's more emo than me? Motherfuck this photo diary nonsense, I'm gonna get me a LiveJournal. (ps - look at the two cutey patooties passed out next to me like little sleeping lambs. Teeheehee.)

After a few England-bound hours in the air, it was time for ANOTHER MEAL! Wooooo! Who loves airline food more than us?
airplane + me
Despite all of my SUSPICIOUS CAMERA ACTIVITY I somehow managed to make it aboard the plane. Wait, where's the Fatty?

We chatted up the totally cute Greek girls working the Olympus Airlines ticketing counter and they hooked the four of us up with...

No sleep yet. (Oh also: at some point during the flight, the three of us watched one of those in-flight TV shows about "The Blue Lagoon," which is an Icelandic Spa Resort built around a huge geothermal pool. Other than exploring Reykjavik, we didn't have any other plans. After watching the video, we decided the Blue Lagoon looked amazing and that we'd try to fit it into our schedule if possible.

Early Sunday morning Tara and I caught our Vegas-bound flight outta JFK.
