half way there

I am sitting in the Vancouver airport right now….waiting to see if I will make my flight to Manila….after the day from hell (week….month from hell!) I hope so much that I do….and almost as much I hope I am upgraded….ppplease!  It is a 14.5 hr flt.  Yikes!

I feel like i have been training for a marathon….I started off slow with Phoenix to Las Vegas 1 hr flt (just under) and then Las Vegas to Vancouver 3 hour flt (which was delayed…UGH!) and now my big 14.5 hour MARATHON to Manila.  Way to jump from 3 to 14.5…but I am glad this is potentially the last layover.  If I don’t make the flt I may give up! 

I didn’t make my 1100 flt today….I have been up since 0630 going NONSTOP and with just enough time made my 1430 flt…..through Las Vegas to Vancouver rather than nonstop.  At least I am this far.  I did get first class from Las Vegas….do I have the luck in me for one more flt?

I have been reflecting so far about how lucky I am that I get to travel so many great places all the time.  I wonder, often, if my parents are proud of me – in the sense they would tell all there friends about the great things that I do.  It is n’t like I am a doctor or have published a novel….I do a normal job – no heroic measures necersary.  Does traveling to cool places something to be proud of???  I don’t know…I will reflect more on this topic when I have more time.  For now….I am going to take my last nicotine break and hope for the best!

Come on 1st!  AT least not a middle seat….a window will do – I need to sleep!
