Up In The Air

All right all? I haven’t blogged for over a week, which is terrible. My apologies for this – I didn’t wanna feel like I was just blogging for the sake of it, and actually had something to say. I think I have quite a bit to talk about as I am currently sitting aboard flight VS045 half way over the Atalntic on my way to New York City! Obviously, I can’t access the internet onboard (not without a cost anyway) and so I’ll post this online as soon as I get chance in Manhattan.

 

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was scared of flying, and I have to say I have struggled at times during the flight – take off wasn’t fun anyway! But, I’m pleased to report that flying on Virgin Atlantic is awesome. There are several reasons for this:

 

1)    Free alcohol – I’ve not partaken yet however, but there’s still 3 hours to go and the return flight.

2)    Virgin have a brand new kind of in flight entertainment. It has about 60 movies to choose from, 50 TV shows, 15 games and the opportunity to text messages to other passengers. Imagine how cool that’d be if you saw a fit girl across the way there and wanted to talk to her, without actually talking to her! The movies on board include Burn After Reading, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Pineapple Express, Max Payne, The Dark Knight, and many many more! There’s 4 episodes of Family Guy, which I’m currently watching and also games such as Tetris and Solitaire.

3)    It’s pretty damn comfy.

4)    Free food and drink! (Including Choc-Ices!)

 

We were 40 minutes late taking off but it’s no problem now that we’re over halfway. There’s rather a lot ot turblence at the moment, but Family Guy and this blog are distracting me from nerves. The plane has a surprisingly number of empty seats, which means there are a few lucky people who are able to spread themselves across 4 seats to sleep! I’m jealous, as I’m knackered but can’t sleep sitting up in this position! There’s not quite enough leg room though to be honest! It’s ok if you’re small like Aoif, but I’ve got long legs and it’s not the most comfortable!

 

As for our trip, our apartment is in the middle of Manhattan, and we have tickets for a NY Knicks game at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, which is well exciting! Probably the most exciting bit of the trip I think.

 

Well, I think that’ll do me for now, I’ll report later from my apartment. Talk to you soon, cheers. Take care.
