That was just the tutorial level
Dec. 29th, 2010 11:01 amToday's itinerary has us flying an ickle plane from Columbus to Milwaukee (yes, not quite the right direction), and then a nice big jet for three hours back to Boston.
I'm both amused and frustrated that these four plane fights seem like three progressively more difficult challenges for an aviophobe, with the plane shrinking in size (and therefore more prone to turbulence) each time, followed by a boss battle where I get to ride a larger plane again but the total flight time is about the same as the previous three flights added together. There's even a sense of nemesis with the very last bit, since my two previous landings at windy, peninsular BOS were memorably scary (albeit on board smaller planes). And then I'll be home, and maybe leveled up...?
Not boarding for another five hours or so. I've eaten breakfast and had my one allowed coffee (which might be putting me at my chemical-nervousness peak right now). Time to take one more walk around suburban Dublin.
