One of the small downfalls of living on the other side of the world nowadays is the traveling. I don’t mint the actual time above the air, or even the changing of flights. It is the long waits in the airport and the security process in USA (of which I will reserve my comments as I enjoy being able to travel through this north american country).
So these waits are sometimes not too bad if the time is enough to go have a peak at the city or the beach and see just that little bit more.
