chair-in-the-sky II

Now seated on Lufthansa for the 9-hour ride to Frankfurt.

I’m flying in a 747! I was so sorry when 747’s were discontinued by most airlines. But tonight I’m on one – complete with a bed. Oh my.

I love the shimmy-shimmy the 747 does on takeoff. There was substantial shimmering today. Fierce bumps thrown in for good measure. I’m not sure how it happened, but I’m not so bothered by the bumping around as I used to be.

Take a look at the sight outside my window. God was painting with clouds today.

Later as we turned our chairs into sky-beds.

Thirty-eight years ago i began flying again. I had grounded myself because of fear. One day I chose to remove my fear and soon I was freed. My third flight was on a 747 to Zurich!

It’s dawn now and soon we will be in Frankfurt.

And I have my hot towel to great this new day.

Guten Morgen!

Awesome descent to Frankfurt airport. Such smooth turns in the 747.

Cool sights.

Quite a slog through the airport. Long-ish walks for me. A serpentine line through passport control. I did catch a ride on a airport passenger cart. But then my friend and I got separated. Suffice it to say, when you want to find your friend in a chaotic terminal, you can!

Now seated in the Lufthansa lounge, getting some “food” for the trek to the departure gate.

Two sky-chairs down. Two to go.

Traveling mercies.
