Flying Eating Sleeping Flying

Yup, we're on the plane and we cant sleep.  What better thing to do than to write the first blog entry from 37000 feet up in the air. 

The flight from Tel Aviv to Vienna was uneventful. We had about four hours in the Vienna airport and decided it wasn't enough to head into town. This meant that we were stuck in the terminal for the whole duration. What a disappointment. Hardly any stores, at least non too interesting. And don't get me started on the restaurants/food options. We paid just over $12 for two small bottles of diet coke. 

At least they had some really cool comfy couches. we sprawled on one and waited the time out.

When we got on the plane to Toky,  while talking to one of the flight attendants i mentioned that we were on our honeymoon. They were all so very happy for us that she came to our seats later with two of the first class gift packs. Those of you who know me, no eye rolling please, you know how those little things make me smile. :)

Ori isn't sleeping either. Rather, he's following the ever slowly moving plane on the screen on the back of the seat in front of him. That's right. I may have had a few moments of happiness from little first class pouches, but my dear husband is getting hours and hours of joyful fun reading the little unknown cities on the map, tracing the flight path and finding out the Russia and North Korea share and itty bitty border. The smile on his face as he's reading what I write was only beat by the smile on his face when he found out that the beef meal option was a surprisingly delicious kebab. "Best plane meal ever." 

 

Today is the first day of the Jewish New Year and I find myself reflecting on the past, present and future. 

Zahava, Ori's mother, asked me yesterday - a year ago, if someone told you that in a years time you would be heading to japan on your honeymoon, would you have believed them? I replied that i probably would have believed the trip to japan much faster than the honeymoon part. Amazing how things can change in twelve short months.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year filled with happiness, health, peace and much love.
