Flight:
7 hours on the largest commercial jet in existence, it was amazing. Everything about it was spectacular. A boy in the group told some of us all about the plane before we went on it and mentioned that it holds over 800 people! Naturally, I sat next to him on the flight. He also happens to be my state buddy (only other person in the group that's from North Carolina) so it was cool to talk about home also. The other person I sat with on the flight was just as cool but hails from Portland Oregon, which I never thought was all that interesting until he told me about it. Everyone in this group comes from somewhere interesting with different backgrounds, also very cool. Anyways, on the flight the food was amazing for airplane food, they served a few different kinds of meals and everyone got to choose which they wanted. They served dinner and breakfast, both good. The screen attached to each seat were touch screen with games, tons of movies and shows, and even a chat room for the passengers. Each chair had a remote with a keyboard attached to it to type messages with. I tried watching a movie but halfway through the movie got distracted by the two guys next to me and stayed distracted the whole trip, making the time fly by quickly. We walked around the two floors of the plane and took pictures on the stairs going up to first class, the people working on the plane even took the pictures for us. Newt Gingrich was even on the plane! We saw him before getting on, again when walking around first class, and a third time when getting off. He took a picture with some of us and waved a different time.

Getting off the plane, we were delayed for our next flight for 14 hours! Which we had to spend staying in the airport (aka not seeing Paris, which we were in) we did however see the Eiffel tower from the windows and played around some. At that point I got sick, which has made the last few days a tad rough. Our plane was then supposed to go to Rabat because of storms but the flight still took 2 extra hours because the plane had to go around the stormy area to reach Rabat. On that plane I talked to a lady near me in Arabic. Reaching rabat wasn't as eventful as I had thought it would be, we were all so tired that the thought of reaching land was more related to the want of sleep than to actually being in a different country across the ocean.
