airplane.gifTurbulence was so bad while rising to proper altitude that our plane took a monsterous dip, causing everyone on the plane to gasp–and one woman actually screamed. I can handle the bumps and shakes of a typical flight, but I have to admit my heart was racing when my body lifted off the seat momentarily (only to be pulled back down by the seatbelt). One old man joked, “People go to Disneyland and pay big bucks for this sort of thrill.” I thought my heart was going to fall out of my chest at that point. Luckily, the plane evened out and the rest of the trip was fairly uneventful.
