Airplane Exitement

4:20 am
The bright city lights of Tijuana zoomed past and was reflected in the window of the car as we drove down to the border. The Greyhound bus in which we were supposed to ride in was canceled, so my father had to drive us down to the Tijuana airport. When we finally arrived at the busy Aero-Mexico station, we were turned down and had to go back to the front of the desk to pay the "Immigration fee" of $20 per person. So we checked in, and headed off to a little restaurant in the airport. The smell of fresh Mexican food wafted from the shop, where an array of food to create tacos laid out. For about $5, we got about 5 tacos, fresh salsa and a coke. After, I went to Starbucks and got a magical drink (Cherry Mocha Frappuccino!) so I would actually stay awake. It worked! Then we went to wait for the airplane, it was funny seeing all the middle-aged Chinese men waiting for the airplane, as I waited three hours in pure boredom. The airline was nice, but the nasty sandwiches (squishy bread, lettuce and cheese) were not up to my standards. To pass the time, I am watching Mama Mia on the small television on the back of the seat and listening to my mom snoring away. Turbulence is hitting a little bit now, and I can feel sleep in my eyes. Yet, I stay awake determined not to miss any bit of my adventure. So all I can do for now is sit back, relax and enjoy my cup of hot green tea.
9:50 am
With six hours left, there is not much to do on a 16 hour flight, other then to watch movies. Outside the window, the air is pitch black and a chilly temperature of -44° C. Mom keeps saying should sleep, but I can't due to excitement! The seats are rather comfortable, and you can play games, watch TV, watch movies and more in the little television. It's rather funny, I'm watching the Mummy 3 which happens to take place in Shanghai, China. Ironic isn't it? I think the worst part of being on a sixteen hour flight is going to the bathroom, I mean it sucks waiting in line for about 15 minutes. Mom is talking to one of those middle aged Chinese business men. I really like the TV's. Oh well, I probably should go to sleep now.
