Okay, so trying to doze off on the bus was a bad idea... I got really carsick, and I threw-up 3 times. L But I’m better now.

Our plane finally took off... an hour later... I’m flying in the air! It’s really fun... but my ears keep popping. We’re above the clouds now. The stewardesses are coming with the drink cart.

Megan, who is a flute player from Pella told me this really funny joke:

These people are sitting in their seats waiting for the pilot and co-pilot to board the plane... So finally they come aboard, and the pilot has a see-eye dog, and the co-pilot has a blind cane... Well, the passengers start to get a little nervous... They try and convince themselves that it’s a joke...

The plane starts taking off, and people wonder if the blind pilot is really the one driving the plane. As the plane is speeding down the runway, the passengers notice that it stops at the shore of a very big lake. The plane draws closer and closer to the lake, and the people start to get really scared... And as the end of the runway came into view, the passengers began to scream. Suddenly, the plane takes off, just before plunging into the water. As the plane ascended the pilots voice came over the loud-speaker:

"You know, one of these days, no-one will scream, and then it will be too late..."

*laughs*

Right now, the plane it in the middle of a cloud... everything is out the window is white... It’s kinda boring.

Okay, so the stewardess just came by and handed out free pretzels and they are SO salty!

We’re flying to Minneapolis now, and I hope we make our flight there, to London at 7:00 pm.

I didn’t see much of Chicago... I was sick in the bathroom on the bus. I saw, like, one toll stop, and that’s it...

Wow, we’re above the clouds... It looks beautiful! Like fresh white, fluffy snow, with frozen rivers and lakes of the clearest blue... :-)

Okay, so the pilot just announced that the we should arrive in Minneapolis at 3:15 pm.

I need to chew some gum...
