It feels so lame to me that I never write on here. All I ever do is stalk my friends. LoL, and really I only care about a couple of them. Le sigh

My sign I was all grown up was when I started taking lots of plane flights by myself when I got married. Did it 4 times across the US to see Pete while he was at various trainings....
... but the scariest was flying to Korea all by myself at age 25. OMG, navigating the Tokyo airport and clearing customs and finding my connecting flight was scary as hell (not that many people spoke English)... and then there was finding Pete at the airport in Seoul when neither of us had cell phones and NO ONE spoke English. You don't realize how addicted you are to cell phoness until you try and do that. He knew my flight number and airline... and I knew he'd be there somehow (hopefully) to meet me. We'd been out of contact for nearly 30 hours before that due to the flight being 24 hours.... talk about STRESS!
Flying back to the US by myself was nowhere as bad. By then, I'd learned enough Korean to read signs. I called my roommate from the Atlanta airport and he had my car waiting for me when I got back since Pete was racked out asleep... he'd gotten back a day before me due to army flights being more efficient. :D
Now, flights are more of a bother than a terror. I honestly prefer driving cross country.
