ADVENTURE. It's what we are all after. Exploring the world around us, trying to understand that which we do not yet comprehend, seeking to make connections with other people on this strange world we all call home. That's the very heart of a adventure.

For all of our best planning, however, things do not always go perfectly. This is not to say that smooth sailing is something to be shunned, but rather that the little things force us just off course add that little bit of salt to our journeys, and make everything just that much sweeter. Okay, I'm mixing the hell out of my metaphors, so let's just get on with it, shall we?

First, we took the car service, driven by Mr. Victor, down to San Francisco international.

Then we checked into our flights, checked our baggage, and adorned to what would prove to be an AMAZING lounge. The British Airways business class lounge featured loads of sandwiches, refreshments, and an unqualified sense of luxury that we both enjoyed tremendously. We actually boarded the flight directly from the lounge!

Then we made our way to the plane. K had splurged with a lot of her points to get us into the business class seats, which were really interesting, and of course delightfully spacious and comfy! We were actually in the top cabin of the plane, with only 18 other souls. It was luxurious and wonderful! K and I each had our own "pod", and we were facing each other, so we could chit chat without disturbing anyone else. It was a wonderful ride, and is the BEST way to fly, hands down.

And that's where we found ourselves, racing across the night sky, as our first day came to a close. We both managed to sleep a bit, which was great, and the next day...

ADVENTURE!! :)
