Spent the Whole Day in the Plane

I started off the day at 6:45 in the morning in San Francisco at Marie's place. This is not my favorite time to get up, especially after having a few too many glasses of wine the night before. But get up I did, having been brought up to be paranoid about missing flights--especially international ones.

My journey officially began when I left for the airport with Peter and Angie at 7:45. I figured that it would leave me more than enough time before our 10:00 flight.

As anyone who's gone to Europe can tell you, it takes a long time to get there, even by plane.
