De Plane, De Plane

While most of you are home watching Deadwood and Carnivale this Sunday night, I was hurling half way across the world. That 18-½ hour flight on SIA that is the longest commercial flight in the world. I must say that it wasn’t bad at all. Being in Raffles Class sure helped. My seat reclined fully into bed position, with pod like sides. My stir-fried beef with Chinese veggies just superb, as was all the food. The route took us up over the pole and down over India and across the South China Sea. The lights of Thailand twinkled below. I started in darkness flew through daylight then back into darkness. Arrived in Singapore just as the sun rose. No cigarette cravings at all. The attendants were as gracious as could be, so every need was attended to. Will add more tonight but now I am showered and hitting the streets.
