"Any minute now..."

So, yeah... on a 9 hour flight from D-Town to Amsterdam... yay.

I got a row of two seats to myself which was pretty pimp! The seats were decked out with little TVs that had videos, music, and movies on demand....


I ended up watching "Distrubia" and "Blades of Glory" on that trip. The later was HYSTERICAL!

I ate some really crappy chicken, which you will find out in the new post that it gave me some VICIOUS bubble-gut, that I think The Dude would've turned away.

"Any minute now..." became my little motto, although I didn't think I would ever end up using it as much as I did!

See, as I boarded the plane headed for Europe, I chewed me up a fistful of Unisom (actually, it was Wal-Som, because I'm cheap like that) so that I could just sleep through the 9 hour flight...

I felt myself getting light-headed... awesome... "I'm gonna get some sleep!" I thought. I sat there as the words: "Any minute now" started running around in my head. "Any minute now I'm gonna doze off." I says to myself.

I finally started to sleep when today's NEW character, Hansen (Spelled like the boy band, but pronounced "Hanz Zen,") decided that he wanted to kick the back of my chair... yeah... my thoughts exactly.

I kept nodding off and Hansen would kick my chair some more and wake me. Evidently, he didn't like how much I was moving around in my chair. I found out after the 3rd time he kicked my chair as he said "Sit still tub!!"

"Hmmm..." I thought "Any minute now, Imma lay a hurtin' on this dutch punk!", luckily, God gave a me peace about it.

The rest of the plane later realized how much of an impatient man Hansen was as he proceeded to yell, yes YELL, at the crew and the passengers ahead of him as we tried to exit the plane. He stood there yelling "Let's move it then, horses! One fat foot in front of the fat other..." it was pretty crazy....

I was able to get a couple cool pictures. Laura's camera does GREAT on planes, evidently.

Brad, you might enjoy these two. On the way to Amsterdam, we had to fly over God's greatest creation: Ireland. Or as the Dutch spell it, Irlande (someone should tell them that they put the 'e' in the wrong place...)

You can't see any land, but you can definitely see the view of Ireland from Heaven.



(it's sideways... but you get the idea)



I took some other pictures over Amsterdam, and thought about posting those, but then I realized that any shot that I took from the plane looked just like the other ones... so... go back and look at the picture of Detroit, and pretend that I said it was Amsterdam...

Close to the time we landed... the condintion of my bubble-gut worsend... a code red! I knew I shouldn't have eataen that Amsterdamish chicken!!

My stomach growled and churned... my motto came in handy... any minute now, we're gonna have a problem! But to my surprise... I just had gas. Good times. I knew it was good to eat that Amsterdamish chicken!!

All our flights were on time, and we made it to Kenya close to 7pm, local time.

I wasn't quite prepared for what I'd see next........
