My Brasilian Flightplan

[dotinthesky]

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy flight in my previous post. You have no idea how much power you hold:

• KLM air stewardess: "As you can see, you are sitting right beside an emergency exit. There are a few things you need to know: if the plane crashes, you must pull this tag and the door will open. If the door doesn´t open, you must push it. However, you must only open the door once the alarm bell stops ringing. If you open the door before that, you will be sucked into the engine, and that wouldn´t be very pleasant."
  
• Out of all the passengers boarding the KLM flight to Brasil, I was one of the few to be frisked by the security guard. I love it when people think I´m dangerous/dodgy-looking.
  
• As soon as the plane took off, one of the air stewards skipped down the aisle. Not run. Not walk fast. Skipped.
  
• There were over 50 movies, 50 CDs, videogames and even Sudoku games to play. I could watch new fair like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as well as the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. I fulfilled one of my lifetime dreams: I watched an airplane thriller inside an airplane (including bombs, shootings and the kidnapping of a little girl - Flightpan). I thought there was an international law against undue passenger distress? Perhaps passengers are now allowed to sensibly stress themselves out?
  

I´m now at the farm. My aunts, grandmother and brother are here. It´s sunny and I´ve been taking photos of the dogs drinking water from the pond. When I went to hang my towel to dry in the morning, a great kiskadee flew over me. Apparently, toucans have been flying down the mountain during certain times of the day. We are going to leave some seeds and fruits out for them.

At the moment, because of my family being around, I don´t have time to catch up with LJ. I´ll try doing so in a couple of days. I hope you are all well!

Helloooooooo over there!
Sad our paths didn't cross in duty free, but glad you are back safe and sound. I got frisked too and made to take my shoes off because they were boots and could be filled with all manner of explosives, yet the man with the trainers in front could pass freely with shoes intact, hmm, but that's JFK for you.
Isn't the inflight entertainment system fantastic?! I watched Pride and Prejudice, (only for Donald Sutherland not for trout face!) Scrubs, Little Britain and certain parts Jarhead far too many times, no wonder I have felt fried for the past couple of days.
Looking forward to reading your adventures on the farm soon.
Glad you are having a lovely time.

I was dead impressed with their entertainment system! I never felt before like I didn´t have enough time in the plane to enjoy myself. Bodes well for the trip back to London.
