Travel, etc.
We were able to get some sleeper pods for our first-class flight to Hong Kong. I was very well-fed on the flight. We had an open snack bar (including chocolate!!), a good meal of pancakes in the "morning" (notice the quotation marks around timing words, because things get confusing when you not only change time zones but you also change days (it's Tuesday, I think). I had also packed some snacks for myself. The sleeper pods were the best invention in the history of the universe because I imagine that it's difficult to sleep in regular seats. We took advantage of the sleeper pods (I think I slept for 5-6 "hours") then I watched 2 or 3 of my movies. Number of games of solitaire played: 21. Time spent teaching myself to use Blender (CAD program): 0 mins. Time spent with puzzles: 0 mins. I really didn't use the things that I thought that I would. I have already spoken with katsmom (she is a well-respected member of my puzzles forum) and we have arranged to meet tomorrow for some puzzle shopping and Thursday for dinner (we hope to have the head of a well-known and loved puzzle company meet us on Thursday as well). We are just now beginning to brainstorm ideas about what to do with the rest of the day (it's "Tuesday morning" here). Internet is quite slow and my Google toolbar is in Chinese (it sees my IP address and says "Oh! You're in China! You must want to speak in Chinese", even though I don't). I can still access most things though (China has some laws about access to the web and personal site creation).

Good morning Jean-Marc. It's Tuesday morning here for certain. Pretty sure that Marco Polo used sleeper pods on his first journey to China also. Curious about the total travel time from Wpg to Hong Kong. Hope you have a great day which ever day it turns out to be there. Have fun.
