I'm in
Tobago! Still sort of trying to figure things out here. My parents moved
(again), but not out of the same area just to a different condo...thing.
Basically we're on the second floor now, but the floorplan is basically the
same. It's kind of weird because it feels like the same place... but it's
slightly different. The best part is that the ceiling fans in this place work
really well so we don't really need to use the AC! This is preferable not only
for power consumption, but also because air conditioners make me sneeze. I don't
know if this is an allergy thing or if we've just had poor AC units for the past
five and a half years (what is time??), but where air is conditioned, I will
sneeze drastically more than usual. Truth. I'm pretty sure everyone in my high
school must have thought me incredibly diseased. Maybe that's why I had no
friends! Ha... Ha...
We did find a comfy spot in YOW. Plus coffee. |
The
flight down was pretty alright. I actually really like travelling and flying.
Something about going up into the sky using nothing but the POWER OF HUMAN
INVENTION always seems magical. Although for the six hour overnight leg of our
flight I did have an empty seat next to me. Bonus! Although being short, I actually don't really have a problem
with leg-room. Oh! A secret comfort tip I have for long plane rides is to lay
on the foldy tray thing in front of you. It seems weird, but it really helps,
especially if your back is getting stiff and you need to be in some sort of a
position that isn't sitting in an airplane seat. And if you usually sleep on
your stomach then it's kinda nice laying your head down in your arms. The only
problem is that it can sometimes be kind of a tight squeeze depending on the
type of airplane, and obviously having a smaller torso helps, I guess. Try it
out! Don't worry about the fact that it kind of looks weird to those around you.
I didn't really sleep on the plane for more than an hour maybe? That was unusual, but I got caught up reading
Animal Farm, and then they were showing The Desolation of Smaug. Who would
sleep? It did leave me pretty dead on Wednesday, though. Ah, overnight
flights...
So now
I'm just relaxing for a bit before getting into the heavy work ethic mode where
things are actually accomplished. I've been loving just sitting outside and reading
or playing video games. I guess I haven't really been doing very much, but that was sort of the plan, at least for a few days. Overall I'm feeling good, and things are going pretty darn swell.
