The engines of the Boeing 737 roared as it picked up speed going down a runway at Houston International Airport. The nose rose, and soon the suburbs quickly shrank away. As we neared cruising altitude, the land disappeared entirely, replaced by the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea. After a while we changed seats so both of us could have a turn gawking.
