Commercial air travel these days is largely a pain. Late flights,oversold flights, missed connections, lost luggage, non-existent bad airline food, cramped seats.
But, sometimes you get a cool moment. The other night I was on the Red-Eye from Vancouver to Chicago. The skies were clear all the way to the deck. It was a moonless night and not much light pollution so the stars were in full view. Way off behind us to the northwest was a line of thunderstorms, lightning flashing below our altitude.
That in itself was beautiful to see. But then a meteor flashed overhead. A "Wow" moment!
You don't get that with your feet stuck on the ground.

Mike, you have a gift for writing and describing the sights you have been privileged to witness. I enjoy the tales of your travels and the wonderful pics you have uploaded of places I know I'll probably never see. The scenery you described about your flight to Chicago reminds me of a passage of scripture...Romans 1:20..."For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." God Bless.
