Plane ride home

I have to admit,  I'm really nervous when i fly.  i have to keep thinking of something else, and not the image of all of us plummeting to the earth with no parachutes.  The kids did really well.  Ellie would get kind of whiny at the end of the flight.  luckily the flights weren't too full and i could bring the car seat.  on the way to Nebraska i could see ironwood road which was kind of neat.  but it was dark on the way home, so it was hard to tell what you were looking at.  i wish i would have remembered to bring a book.  i did have a magazine where i read a really interesting article about the rise of china as a new world power.
