Dedication is getting up at 4am to get on a plane…when one is not working (the ultimate example of this is my own family, who regularly drag themselves out of bed and away from work on a regular basis to get my sorry self to plane, I still don’t know how they do it). For my part, I have never actually been up that early if it’s not to catch a plane to a contract; and honestly 4am comes awfully early. But it was the only plane available for Amras and I to catch to Indiana…so into the cab we went…
Despite the fact that I still hold to the belief that if mankind were meant to fly the Lady would have granted us wings, I will admit that long haul flights are easier when sitting next to someone that you know who doesn’t mind if you fall asleep on their shoulder. Also, we were flying Delta, which has excellent entertainment options, so my anxiety was eased a lot by immersing myself in a repeat viewing of the new Jungle Book movie (hello Disney, how I have missed you).
Actually the flights were amazingly smooth, and we made Indiana perfectly on time. There was just one itsy bitsy little snag: the car company we had reserved through messed up our reservation, and it is rather difficult to drive across the country without well…a car. More on that later, perhaps.
While we tried to work out that little snag Amras’ Mum came up to pick us up from the airport, so we got in a little more visiting time which is always a good thing..
So…adventure time it is…
There’ll be peace when we are done
