Another beautiful sunrise flight


The wake-up calls most definitely suck, but sitting on a plane, watching the sun come up over the horizon might just be one of the most beautiful things to watch.  It makes the lack of sleep completely tolerable.

I originally planned to sleep in the extra hour this morning and catch the 7am flight from New York City to Washington, DC.  For some reason, however, I was laying in bed rather wide awake at 3:45am and so I made the decision to get up and catch a sunrise at 24,000 feet. Not too shabby.

Yes, the bright spot in the middle is Times Square.
