We woke up at 7 this morning (more accurately Mom woke me up at 7 and then I went back to sleep until she bribed me out of bed with doughnuts). After some last minute packing, we loaded up the car and made our way to the airport. We stopped at a gas station for some much- needed caffeine and the girl who rang us up noticed my Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder shirt and commented, "I thought that was a book!" Made me happy that someone else knew that. I had to fill her in on the musical and how wonderful it is. Of course, once we got to the airport I had to go and make things harder for myself by breaking ANOTHER toe by dropping my extremely heavy bag onto one of my toes. The corner of the laptop inside it hit my toe. At least I have Tylenol with me.

I guess it's to late to turn back now! According to the screen in the back of the seat in front of me, we are currently over Canada. The airplane is pretty cool! We have much more leg room than an American airplane would have. They gave me the tiniest tube of toothpaste that I have ever seen!
There is this fold down cup holder that doesn't fit the cup of tea I brought with me, as evidenced by the tea on my pants. At least it wasn't too hot. I have no clue why I am allowed to operate anything. Coordination isn't a strong point with me. Neither is thinking to take the things I needed out of my bag in the overhead bin before the plane took off. At least I had my Doctor Who Magazine in my purse! We were served dinner around 3:30. For plane food, it wasn't that bad. *PICTURE*
I watched Tangled while I ate dinner and drank more tea. I think I might have a tea problem.
The plane has this really cool thing where they attached cameras to the noes and underbelly of the plane so you can see what you are flying over. Currently all I can see are clouds.

My dad is watching Tangled! My dad is sitting next to me and actually watching a Disney movie! Maybe I am still asleep? This never happens.

Apparently the airline wants us to go to sleep directly after dinner, which for us was 5:30. The closed all of the window shades and turned all of the lights off. Of course, I'm not going to sleep now. I watched most of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical before Dad and I felt the need to walk. We are currently over the polar ice caps, which neither of us had ever seen before. Unfortunately, all of the shades were down and we were sitting in the middle aisle. We found a small window in the back by the emergency exit. The sky was so blue and the ice was so white. There was a hazy line where they met and in that line I seemed like you could see all the way around the world.

They have turned the lights back on in the cabin and are serving us either dinner or breakfast, I'm not quite sure which. It's dinner food, but it's after what the flight attendant called "rest time". The food this time around is not as good looking, so I think I'm going to break out the goldfish and then try to sleep. We've got about 5 more hours until we arrive in Seoul.
Thursday 6:07pm Seoul time
We are at the Seoul airport waiting to board our connecting flight to Phnom Peh. The rest of the flight here was unevetful. They turned the lights out again directly after dinner/breakfast. I felt kinda like a baby, being fed and them put to sleep again. I slept for about an hour total, unfortunately. I will never understand people who can sleep sitting up.
The Seoul airport is like a mall that had an airport attached, but without the food court.
