Whew! Felt like she was Gulliver Traveler's wife...in and out of planes, like an airhostess - simply exhausting. She loves babies but, man, not babies on planes; there were tenors, sopranos and alto's singing out of key like they were on the set of "Harmonization gone BAD"...talk about "pounding a hammer on one's head". Thank goodness, final destination is today...she bids fairwell to her friend and heads to the security hauling a hand luggage that weighed heavier than she did. As she walks to the gate, all she could think of was her bed, her domain, her own space... :), amala and ogbona impatiently waiting to be swallowed hmmmm. She quickly rushes to the gate, it's almost 10 mins to departure....NOT! 1.5 hr delay! Great! Just great! Agitation, Irritation & Vexation sets in...Arrrrgh. " Ok, calm down!" she tells herself, "at least you have your ipod, phone and magazines to keep you occupied."
Alas, it's time to board! She throws everything in her luggage and zaps into the plane! "I am ready to sleep o" she tells herself. What a conundrum it was that she loved to travel, yet hated flying. You know the feeling you got when you first entered an elevator? Yup! That type of feeling stretched out about 2 hrs...VOMIT! Anyhow, she throws her luggage up with the help of someone yet again for the umpteenth time....:)
[SIDEBAR]most people on the plane seemed real nice for some odd reason, like they have the "we may be dying together and I wanna make heaven or paradise" mentality [END SIDEBAR]
She scurries off to her seat...seat belt sign comes on...she buckles up! Time to sleep :)))...oh no! She forgot to remove her Ipod from her luggage! It just gets better!!! Man sitting next to her starts sparking conversation o_O! Dude, she already told you she wants to sleep! How could she resist and brush him off without being rude ehn? She had no "sweet escape"...she left everything up there and had no form of distraction :(. Guy starts talking about his family and what not, it doesn't help that he keeps burping every 5 seconds; smells like he'd just pour curry and garlic in his mouth from an Indian restaurant before jumping in the plane...VOMIT! She's trapped - Claustrophobia
