Out of the eight boxes

So the world's quite big.

Until yesterday i had only ever been in eight boxes on the world map. Now I've been in loads of them. The flights were absolutly epic. Sat beside a nice coupleon the way over who totally took it upon themselves to look after me. Didn't stress me out at all. We flew over the tip of Greenland and down through Hudson Bay. Over Ice sheets and then down over the snow capped rockies. It was so amazing. I felt quite sick for North America, but felt better by L.A. Most of my brain power was expended trying to work out what time it was where. And why it was shorter to go over Greenland. The answer lies in something called a Great Circle. You move, the Earth moves. It's a complicated dance.
