The long flight home

indigo_rose99I have been on long flights, short flights, delayed flights, rushed flights, flights with screaming babies, flights without AC, flights so bumpy I got airsick (and it takes a LOT to do that), flights where the co-pilot was the closest thing to a stewardess... But this is my first flight with a narrator.
I take aisle seats when I have a choice. The person in my window seat has chosen to keep the shade down, so I can only tell that it is daylight.
However, because of the flight narrator, I learned that while we waited on the runway three other flights took off. We did not like that. We should be first.
We were clearly informed the moment we started moving down the runway. I am quite positive that our plane gained speed only because of progressively louder urging.
And the second we separated from the ground? Also carefully announced. Such events are easy to miss without the verbal component.
I am now to understand that we are inside a cloud. This was repeated several times. I'm not sure if it was multiple clouds or just for those in the audience not listening the first time.
