Arrived

Friday, February 8th, 2008

I’ve arrived safe and sound in the states and let me tell you the weather is amazing. We’ve got sunshine and it’s getting warmer here! Sure, it’s no summer weather just yet, but I’m walking around in a t-shirt, which is more than I can say about Germany right now.

Our flight was absolutely fine, got to fly first class due to some friendly happenings at the gate, so the 10 hours and 40 minutes flew by in a daze. I got to watch two movies, Elizabeth and No Reservations, which weren’t as bad as I had though. First class has touch screen tvs now, which suck absolute balls! They are slow and unresponsive and drive you up the walls! But, no complaining from my side, I slept 4 hours and got some fantastic food. Good for you Lufthansa.

I have some amazing pictures from the flight, because when we landed a Airbus 340 from American Airlines landed parallel to us in San Fransisco and I have pictures of him right at our wing tip (We were a heavy Boeing 747) and also some really nice pictures of Mount Shasta and also Greenland. So look forward to that once I get off my ass and find a card reader. Hah.

Edit: And I’ve found the awesome card reader and can now entertain you with fantastic pictures!

I was goign to put them in directly, but I don’t have photoshop to resize them and i think my laptop may break in the process of installing it. (CS3 on a 7 year old VAIO, I think not!)

First Picture
At least it’s sunny above the earth, that’s greenland or something or another (Lots of ice though!)

Second Picture
This would be Mt. Shasta in.. Washington I believe?

Third Picture
This was the A340 I was talking about, that was flying next to us the whole time. I didn’t zoom all that much, so it goes to show they were indeed quite close!

Fourth Picture
They fell behind because we were fast mother fuckers, bwahaha we win!

Fifth Picture
This is what view I am currently enjoying out of my windows. Sunshine at Clearlake!
