Do these impossibly small seats make my butt look fat? (The answer is yes), originally uploaded by davethetemp.
Somewhere over Canada, 3:10 p.m. (Hanoi Time)
So I'm finally going to do the Math. Our plane takes
off at midnight. Meal is served about 45 Minutes
later and I decide to set my watch to Hanoi Time and
try to adjust. Checking my handy Palm, I need to
move my watch 11 hours ahead into Sunday. I know that
we will be arriving at about 5 or 6 in the morning on
Monday in Hong Kong to change planes. Oh, god, I now
know just how long I'm going to be on this flight.
The plane has some very modern features, but it's not
built for someone my size. Learning from my
AirTransat experience, I wedge the pillow between my
knees and the seat ahead of me. Cramped but cushioned.
My plan is to stay awake though the Vietnamese
daylight hours, probably crashing sometime around
eight. Hmm, probably the wrong word to use. It looks
as though I am one of the very few who are trying to
stay awake. Now that I say that, we've hit a bad
pocket of turbulence and the nearest baby is now in a
screaming fit.
We have in seat entertainment with about 12 movies
which seems to run each movie twice then shut down so
there is nothing to watch until it comes back on.
Helpfully, the screen says "Movies/TV will start
in...." I saw I Am Legend first. Better than Omega
Man would be my 4 word review.
No fair, now I'm finally starting to fade. Lets see
if I can sleep.
