Summary: Got up at 7:00am to pack and finally finished packing at 9:15pm. Arrived at Arcadia (Betty was not home) at around 11:15am. Hsin-Ping came at around 11:30am and off we went. We arrived at LAX at around 12:30am. We were among the first to check in but I was too tired to ask for aisle seat. Vincent and I stopped by ReLAX to relax for an hour ($20, $10 per person per hour, no more kid discount). We order cut noodles and enjoyed fresh fruit, coffee (just me), juice, and party chex mix. I think it'll well worth the money. Vincent played computer game and I just read magazine and watch the planes take off. At around 2:45pm we left ReLAX sand moved toward the terminal. The flight was delayed for about 15 minutes but it was not too bad. When we got on the plane, there are many empty seats but many have reshuffle themselves so that many are seating at the aisle seat but we were stuck at the windows seat. It was my bad; I should have set our preference right. But I managed to find two aisle seats in the middle. These seats used to belong to two passengers of a family; the Dad of that family sits at another end of the four-seats row. As we sat down, I could hear the mom whisper about us sitting there so that he can not lay down. I looked around and did spot two other aisle seats so I told her that it'd be alright. We can sit over there so her husband can stretch. But it turned out that Vincent does not want to sit at the exit seat, which these two other aisle seats were next to. Recently he came down with this fear of the exit door open in mid-air and he would be flung outside. This kid has too much imagination. Anyway, he refused to change seat, so I have to apologize again. I guess I did not have to apologize but I just thought I should be as polite as I can. After all, those are their seats, even though they've taken on other's seats.

 

I watched two great movies on the plane: "He's not that into you" and "Inconvenient Scandal (Korean movie)". Both were surprisingly good and I cried several times- both happy and sad tears. Anyway, it was really nice to be able to sit down and just watch movies like this. I do enjoy watching movies on the plane, even though there seemed to be something wrong with my touch screen that It kept jumping around.
