Day 1: Travel

Just arrived in Dullus airport in Washington D.C and now waiting for our baggage to leave the airplane hold and make it's way to the airport. It's lightning outside so all operations have been delayed until the weather gets better. So I am sitting on the floor munching my way throughout a $6 bag of trail mix (thanks dad!)

Plane ride was a rollercoaster with turbulance. Made for a very interesting plane ride complete with shrieking people and a little kid whose stomach couldn't quite handle the commotion. Unfortunely this was probably me about 10 years ago. Whoever invented that handy paper bag they put in the seat pocket is a genious.

Nothing else to report on the plane apart from the an article in the "hemisphere" magazine about singaporean food - I laughed outloud when the author stated he couldnt understand how such a clean and efficient city would allow durians to be sold. Apparently he didn't appreciate the taste of the interesting fruit!

And so this starts the first day of my trip to Portugal. I'll try to keep blogging with updates!
