This week I flew to Nelson to visit my Nanny and Grandpa. I forgot how much I really love flying, and being in airports. Here are some of my reasons why:
1. When I travel, I am the most organized version of myself. All of my needs are packed away in little compartments of my suitcase, and my passport and travel documents are easily accessible. This makes me feel competent.
2. Some of my earliest travel experiences took place in airports and on airplanes before I was 2 years old.That early fascination with flying has made air travel something that is generally stress-free, interesting and fun for me.
3. The information boards with the flight numbers of arrivals and departures. It get so excited thinking about how those numbers represent a different path with a different ending, like a real choose-your-own adventure.
4 . The very satisfying feeling of being in an airport with nothing to do but wait, browse through books, people-watch and eat.
5. The feeling you get when the plane accelerates and goes super fast in preparation for take off.
6. The view from the plane that gives a totally different perspective of the earth that we live on.
7. Airplane food. Cringe if you will, but seriously I do. The little packets of food all served hot. Who can't like that!
8. Arriving at my destination knowing I can escape reality for a few days.
So there you have it. Just some of the reasons I love to fly. Next stop- U.S.A
