Gadling reported this week that South African based carrier Kulula-air is putting the fun back into travel with its new plane paint scheme. Bright green planes are entertaining enough, but they’ve taken it a step further by painting explanations of the plane’s sections and features. The pilot’s seat is denoted with “Big Cheese” the nose cone has a “really big dish inside,” and much more!

At a time when many of her friends are falling for their first boyfriends and gossiping about who they saw at the mall, Jessica Watson has the courage to attempt to sail around the world on her own. At 16, if she is able to navigate her small boat, Ella’s Pink Lady, all the way around the world, she will break a record and become the youngest person to ever do so. Jessica blogs regularly about her journey and you can keep up with her trip on her website. She’s nearing the Cape of Good Hope and seems to be nearly halfway to her native Australia. How inspiring!
