When I'm flying, I usually prefer a window seat.I can put my head against the cabin wall and sleep easily. Plus I don't have any stray limbs banged by food/beverage carts. On a clear day, I enjoy looking at the land forms below and if they're really interesting, I'll grab my phone and take a photo. A fun game, for me, is to then identify the feature. Sometimes this is dead easy and other times it can be frustrating*.
*One big frustration is the new iPhone High Efficiency Image File Format (.heic) which is a great format but it currently doesn't play well with others. I use Squarespace and currently like to use their IOS app as it lets me blog during free moments. However the image format issue was a speed bump. Enhancing life seems to require a series of hacks and kludges these days.
We landed in Florence close to 3PM and we had a food tour scheduled at 5PM. Just enough time to fetch bags, taxi to the hotel, shower, and walk to Piazza della Signoria for the start of the tour.
I love looking out airplane windows and while an aisle seat has a few alleged advantages, I usually nap and get dinged by the beverage and food carts as they go up and down the aisle. So if it is a daytime flight, I’m usually on the window. Today’s flight flew over Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas before entering Mexican airspace

The sky was hazy in Alberta due to forest fires (but that smoke created an awesome red sunrise).
