JFK to Sydney, a Flying Marathon

There was a nervous rumbling in my belly as I awoke way to early this morning; flying long distance is not like catching a flight to Florida. There was long ago a time that I thought a flight from NYC to London was a marathon. I learned over the years that it isn’t even a 5 K. Today is a bloody marathon, thirteen hours to Tahiti and after a two hour layover another eight to Sydney. Fortunately from all accounts I will be flying in great equipment on Air Tahiti Nui and no LAX change over. The airlines allow for a stop over and that will be surely useful on my return trip. Lace up the running shoes and focus on the finish!
