My name is Rand and I ramble. This is my personal blog and a small reflection of my mind. I mainly write about my life and a pretty wide diversity of topics that interest me. You will see posts about music, television, God, American Idol, life, Apple, social media and whatever comes to mind. I was born in Puerto Rico from an American Dad and a Puerto Rican Mom and moved to Dallas five years ago.So stick around, have fun and let me know about you... 
Flying to the Past
January 20th, 2010 by Rand Duren received Comments
Tonight, after being in New Zealand for 30 days, I am flying back to Dallas. Travelling like this is weird, mainly because the time zones are so far apart that it is like I am flying to the past.
For example:
Today is Thursday, January 21st in New Zealand, my plane leaves at 6:05 pm.
but…
I land in Los Angeles on Thursday, January 21st at noon.
Is that isn’t crazy I don’t know what is.
If you were wondering, I go from New Zealand to Fiji which is around 4 hours.
Wait in Fiji for my flight for 2 hours.
Then from Fiji to LA, which is more than 9 hours… on a plane. Ugh.
Then, LA to Dallas.
I like travelling, but I enjoy being in the place a lot more than the process. It can get very tedious, very fast. If you don’t know, planes are very uncomfortable, I am tall and my legs are long… so, for me the best thing to do when travelling is sleep. Lately I have bee able to do it in my flights quite a bit. Hopefully, on the one from Fiji to LA I will be able to sleep around 8 hours, that would be fantastic.
So, have a good night… and a pleasant tomorrow… whenever that is.
