• Flying to Vancouver

    October 19, 2025 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

    Our seats are pretty much in the back of the plane but there are only 2 seats on our side so luckily we are not sitting next to anyone.

    When we first sat on the plane, Erik pretty much went straight to sleep. I watched the movie, Death of a Unicorn. It was hard to see the whole thing because it had some dark scenes and it was still pretty bright in the plane with a reflection bouncing off my screen. No worries. I spent most of my time going through pictures.

    I then started Jungle Cruise but figured I'd save that to watch with the kids.

    Instead, because we don't have Apple TV, I watched the Morning Show. All three episodes that were on there. I liked it.

    Erik woke up after the second episode.

    He went to the bathroom and then we watched the Ballerina together. Cute that the airplanes let you watch a movie with someone so that they are timed the same. Erik said the movie was dumb haha.

    After that movie, I went to the bathroom and then Erik went back to sleep. I tried to sleep but my mind won't shut off and I'm just kind of tired of being uncomfortable when I sleep.

    I closed my eyes and listened to the latest Taylor Swift album. I liked it. I listened to the version that has an intro and explanation for each song.

    Then I finished episode 3 and after that I tried to watch some TV shows and movies but nothing was interesting.

    Erik woke up while I was perusing so we decided to watch Megan 2.0. We never watched the first Megan but it's ok. The movie was ok.

    Then Erik went back to sleep and I tried to find another TV show. I found one on Apple TV called the Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy visiting Finland and then the second episode where he visits Costa Rica.

    The food on the plane was overall good. The farro roasted vegetable salad was pretty gross and hard to swallow and I like veggies. We both had the beef boilognese with penne and it was really good. The bread with butter was good but I had to take a small bite of cheese in between bites of the bread. The Tim Tam cookie was delightful. For snack we had a chicken avocado salad sandwich. It was small but good. It came with some biscotti cookies.. I love those cookies.

    Erik and I both had coke to start. Then we both had tea.. and then I had a coke and he had a coke zero.

    Overall it's a good flight. My body hurts from sitting for so long. There is a small child across the aisle from us and they only cried once. I wasn't mad though, like some people get. I just feel bad for the mama trying to keep her baby happy for 14+ hours.

    We only had some turbulence. Twice was it a little much for me. The first time it went away rather fast. The second one lasted much longer. They even stopped breakfast service because of it.

    They gave out breakfast about 37 minutes before landing so we had to scarf it down. The egg frittata was just ok. Probably because when I put the salt and pepper on, the salt poured out. I definitely have my salt intake for the day. Or week. The fruit was really good. The sausage was ok. The potatoes were good and the bread was good but a lot.

    We have about 90 minutes until we board our next flight but it'll probably be closer to 60 once we get off the plane since we are in the second to last row.
