thankfully it was a great seat. 1A.

The only tolerable thing about air travel is that it gives me something to
vent about here in these pages!

That, and the first class meals on Continental are scrumptious.

Air travel can be so painful.
If you're traveling for fun, delays aren't so bad, bc you're (well, I should say, "I") happy to be going wherever it is.
But if it's for work... that is just torture!
I hope you at least had a good seat, and not the back row that doesn't recline. I sat on a runway for almost 3 hours in that seat one time.

Oh dear. Where do I start. Um... tan is better than green. Green you'd look like army. However, tan you'll look like a fisherman.

Actually, the list of items that you need to have handy makes me think that what you really need is a purse. Essentially, with this vest, you'd be wearing a purse.
My husband always acts AMAZED that I'd POSSIBLY need a big purse to carry around, but YOU, Chris, are a man with sense!

Re: How Do You Sleep (on a plane?)

My system is very close to yours, but IF you get the window seat, add two things:
--a sweatshirt to serve as a pillow and
--another blanket or sweatshirt between your knee and the wall.
I added those 2 to your system and got a nice 4 hours of sleep to and from Brazil. A little sleeping meds are also nice on a longer trip.

I laughed when I saw your title, bc when I got home from that trip I told people about my special system too. Oh, but I use earplugs and not headphones!
