Flying like the birds bring a sense of freedom.. We may take technology for granted.. but it still amazes me that each time I get on a plane, we end up in a different part of the world within hours..

That is why when the plane is delayed, I'm not too disheartened.. the miracle of flying gets us there faster, even with delays..
