Bucket List#22: fly on a plane

Yet another one of my bucket list items is scratched off. I have flown on, not one, but three planes. And what an amzing experience it was! My first flight was from Pittsburgh to Chicago...a relatively short flight. It was really only a teaser for the 13 hour flight I'd be on to Seoul, South Korea. The flight to Korea was so so surreal because we were literally traveling back in time...We flew into daylight for 15 hours. It was only when I boarded my flight to Phnom Penh, that the sun set.
Flying for the first time was amazing. I didn't know how I'd like it, but I wasn't really nervous and in the end, I loved it. The aerial views were just amazing and the seats were pretty comfortable. Korean air kept me entertained with a great list of hit movies and snacks about every hour. I felt just about ready to explode when we landed. So airline food isn't the best but hey, I have one less thing to accomplish in my lifetime:]
