Yesterday I caught the plane at JFK to St. Croix. It was the first time I'd traveled on a plane alone (even as I traveled as a child I was always at least with Cole). It was interesting. The in flight movie was Waterhorse (I was bored with it within an hour). My Isle-mates were a Spanish speaking woman who crossed herself (father, son and the holy spirit, The Trinity) on take off and landing and a guy who slept the whole three hours. The plane food was really good, like, North Star Diner good, like, Cosi good, but they didn't have plastic forks on the plane which I found strange.
I was worried that the flight would be delayed and I'd miss my connection, but that didn't happen. On my second flight I realized that the safety procedures were covered extensively for water landings (there not much that can be done if your plane crashes on the ground). In the instructions it says you're not supposed to inflate you life vest until your in the water...what happens if you cant swim and you vest malfunctions, you drown, that's what happens. The stewardess was in training and upon arrival in St. Croix she said "Welcome to Kentucky", I thought that was funny.
The second plane ride was beautiful. The sun was setting and that combined with the clouds hovering over the water, it was hard to tell where the earth ended and the sky began. The minute I stepped off the plane in ST. Croix I regretted not packing more summer clothes. It's 85 degrees and I feel every one of them (Oh why did I insist on bringing 3 sweaters?!:)
There's hardly any wireless Internet on this island so my entries may not be as frequent as usual, but I'll try to keep in touch!
Until next time...

Your walkabout sounds like its going really good! :]
[I liked the picture you posted earlier c: ]
hehe, yay Kentucky!!
lol. welcome to kentucky.
this was the first time ive ever flown alone too. i watched like 4 movies and 2 episodes of the office. i thought my eyes were going to explode because i had my contacts in so long.
ive always wondered how people can sleep or close the shades during flights. its the sky. you cant get a better view than the sky. i almost feel, like, privileged to be so close to the clouds, to actually see that they are floating, like on an invisible sheet of glass. and coming above the clouds on an overcast day is like the best thing ever. its amazing.
hope you can update more, because i really enjoyed this entry 8D
