Airplanes and Butterflies

You'll never believe where I'm blogging from: approximately 30,000 feet above Salt Lake City, sitting in the middle seat of an airplane, pretzles in hand. My Delta flight offers an hour of free trial in-flight internet, so I figured this would be a great time to check in. (And brag about being able to check my internet from an airplane!! Isn't it unbelievable how tech connected our world has become?)

So as expected, the butterflies in my stomache have officially taken me hostage. I'm sitting here listening to "fireflies" (a fitting song) on my ipod, and am beaming from ear to ear, realizing that I'm finally, actually on my way. The people on either side of me (one is sleeping, the other has a "don't-bother-me-I'm-really-into-my-magazine" thing going on) probably think I'm crazy for being this excited to be on an airplane - but I have good reason. I'll be in Madrid tomorrow. :)

A couple hours later, and now I'm in the Atlanta airport, drinking Sweet Tea and eating the last green, leafy vegetables I'm going to have for awhile, from what I hear. :/ The rest of the flight should be a breeze since I leave at 7pm Atlanta time, and get in at 9:35am in Madrid. Assuming my body cooperates with the time change, I'm just a good night's sleep away!

Note: This morning at LAX I attempted to record my first videoblog. Apparently, I need to step a bit further away from the camera next time... haha. But here's a little preview!
