14 hours.
It was cruel.
But we are now *somewhat* comfortably settled into our airport seats in Doha, Qatar.
It's 9:59 pm here.
It's 1:59 pm in Abilene.
It's 9:59 am in Cambodia.
I'm slightly disoriented.
Twilight Zone episode worthy.
I HATE TIME ZONES.
Sarah apparently has no issue though.
Our plane ride was a little interesting. There were seriously more kids than adults on the plane. Maybe not, but it sure felt that way. There was always a kid screaming. Poor babies, they didn't know what was happening to them, I'd be screaming too! The movie selection was wonderful and included a ton of new releases that I have been wanting to see. The only problem was the fact that every time I began a movie, I fell asleep for random parts of it. Les Mis? Fell asleep as soon as the guy from the beginning stole the priest's silver. Beasts of the Southern Wild? After her house burned down I was gone. Amour? I didn't even make it past the airlines promotional message. I watched 2 episodes of The Big Bang Theory but I don't think they were from season 1... I had no idea who was who or what was happening. I was awake for the majority of Mulan though. Probably because it was daylight, or it might be because Mulan rocks. Who doesn't love a Disney gal who can save China?
Anyways.
Sarah and I kept waking up at different times and trying to make sense of what was happening around us. There were so many different languages and so many different ethnicities which was so cool. There was a family in front of us with a little girl that kept playing peek-a-boo with us. The man behind us was arguing with the flight attendant and the boy behind us threw up probably 50 times *slight exaggeration* but we all know how well Sarah deals with people vomiting. As soon as I heard him even move a tiny bit, I made sure Sarah had her ears closed or was asleep. Poor Sarah. Poor boy.
We are now waiting for our next flight to begin boarding at 12:10 and then fly out an hour later. From there we will go through customs in Thailand and then board a flight to Cambodia. I'm so nervous about customs.. Oh well, we'll be practically invincible when this is all over.
Thank you for all the prayers and support, we're almost there!
Love you all!
Cassie and Sarah
