After getting dropped off at DIA by Matt this morning, I made my way to the gate for my flight. As I sat down I noticed a plane parked on the tarmac with emergency vehicles all around it…oh great! Turns out it was just something minor, but still stressful to see that right before I get onto one of the longest flights I’ve ever taken!

I’m flying through Toronto and then onto Copenhagen from there. I just plugged my headphones into the plane’s entertainment system and turned on the EDM channel. First song: Daft Punk, Around the World. Ok, you’ve got me there, I love that song. It’s followed by Above & Beyond and then Toronto native, Deadmau5’s Raise Your Weapon. Dang! I like all these songs, but they’re all radio mixes, so they’re super short without all the build-ups and drops.

The cabin of the plane is hot and smells like breath. Not bad but not good either.

When I get to Toronto, I’m gonna find a bar and maybe some poutine. I’ve never had it, but my theory is it’s the Canadian answer to Chile Cheese Fries.

Airplanes and airports are this weird limbo world where you seem to be in travel purgatory, you’re not home, but you’re not there yet either. I’m already over it, and I just want to be there already. C’mon Copenhagen!
