When we flew to NZ last year, it was bright light outside and there were the most fabulous views of the Tibetan Plateau and more, and we weren't allowed to open the blinds and look because some people were sleeping, I felt deprived of what should have been a magical part of the trip.<BR/>And I love the whole story about you and GOM and how you wove it all in too.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-81190460048378815882007-08-28T00:23:00.000+10:002007-08-28T00:23:00.000+10:00I love flying.
