I love traveling and I love flying on planes (provided that there are sudden jolting flashes of turbulent death.) I love airports – I like the mayhem of them, with all their refugee camp meets duty free perfume/chain restaurant/bar/gift shop/high end jewelry store/commemorative t-shirt and shot glass stand glory. When I fly I like to sit on the window. I always find the view absolutely fascinating. This was the view from my window on May 5 as I went from Los Angeles to Washington DC. The flight left approximately at 4:40pm from LAX and arrived in Washington/Dulles five and half hours later, flying over deserts and snow covered mountains along the way, leaving the bright and sunny LA coast behind and arriving in the blue black of night.
