Day 245, 2 Sep 2017: Leaving on a jet plane...

Day 245: ...again

And so it came to pass, too quickly, these past two weeks. Time to board, time to return to the land of work...

I can't help but remain fascinated in the child-like way of fascination and curiosity that this metal capsule gets us up, up and away, for about nine hours without a hitch. 

With inflight reading purchased it was a matter of waiting at the gate (84* this time, not the usual 82) one last look before I am back in late December. 

(*Riddle me this: when we leave Tokyo through gate 82 we arrive at Brisbane's gate 82; when we leave Brisbane's gate 84, we arrive at Tokyo's gate 84...)

Tail

One of those

In the distance

Outside the window


And with book read, movies watched, airline food consumed (QANTAS has really dropped the ball there) it was back to the house with the reality of work just a day away. 

Until my trip to Helsinki, next week...stay tuned, for I'll be leaving on a jet plane, again.
