Sitting in Chicago now, the sitting area for my flight to Tokyo is a good transitional period... Suddenly everything is announced in English and Japanese, half the passengers waiting are Japanese, and all of the flight attendants are Japanese. 13 hour flight comng right up... on the agenda are sleep finally, reading Stiff, and catching up on seasons 5 and 6 of Entourage.

i flew out of seattle when i went to japan. took a nap, played my psp, then listened to my old mp3 player. it was one long ass flight

Add 4 hours to that flight when I came home from Sydney...then the 5 hour flight from LA to Philly. The 30 minute car ride seemed like seconds.

You WILL get bored. Trust me.

Depends on the manufacturer. It's normally between 50 and 80 pounds... The weight of a small person that would be able to sit in the front seat. I think it's someone over the age of 12 or something, so probably around the normal weight of a person that age..

Hopefully I sleep a lot on the plane... It's 11:30 pm local time right now so passing out in a couple hours might work out well. Alright were taking off soon, I'll be in touch from afar later...

I think that happens when it starts getting cold outside.
