the flight to cordova

so its around 4am. i was all paranoid that i was gonna miss my flight so i didn't even stay one night at the hostel. they wanted me to do some stupid chore, but since i didn't even sleep there, i just bailed out.

my flight gets changed from 6am to 9am.

so this airport is tiny and terrible. i try and lay down on those lousy uncomfertable chairs but it's not even worth it. i try laying on the floor, just as bad. somehow i manage to angle my suitcase, jacket and arms for a pillow and sleep for 2 hours.

my flight shows up. it's one of those tiny 12 passenger jets and we take off. it's icy and raining. you feel every gust of wind and breeze. but the scenery is amazing. glaciers, lakes, mountains. but then nothing but clouds take the view away so i fall asleep. i get woken up by a huge piece of ice hitting our plane which shakes the whole thing. but we about to land so nothing happens.

we exit, were in cordova, and i'm like damn it's cold here.
