A Bird's Eye View

It's amazing what you can see from the window of an airplane. 


Goodbye Utah!

Hello Tonga!



This tiny toy airplane carried us from the main island Tongatapu to Hapai and then to Vavau.



I emphasize the word tiny.


I was in the very back when I took this picture. And that's not first class behind that blue curtain, that's the cockpit.

One of my friends was chosen to sit with the pilots during the flight.



The airports in Tonga are just a smidge smaller than the ones here in the states.


It gives "one man show" a whole new meaning for me now. It's fun to see the woman who checked in your baggage take your ticket and also get on the plane as your flight attendant.

My favorite part of the airplane journey?

A bird's eye view of the "Friendly Islands".



Tonga is composed of 169 islands. Of which, 36 are inhabited.

  2. Only 36 are inhabited?! Does that mean there are some islands for sale? So pretty! You're pics out the window of the plane turned out so good!
