The way time zones work is one of the most complicated ideas in the world. I started in Boston at 4:08pm, after my six hour flight landed in San Francisco at 7:30pm..? And then I left San Francisco at 10:50pm and fifteen hours later it was 6:25am two days later? So essentially, 21 July just kind of got lost somewhere in the Pacific...
I wasn't really able to sleep on the flight like many others were, but I did learn a few things:
1. The first two hours of a fifteen hour flight go by the quickest, the rest are rather slow.
2. I'm not very good at crossword puzzles.
3. iPod batteries don't last as long as you think they do.
4. People seem a little bothered when you're the only person in your cabin with your overhead light on.
5. A good way to secure yourself a little more space on the plane is to sneeze, a lot.
5a. People don't say "bless you" as much as they do in the states.
6. Movies are less interesting when you're too lazy to reach for your headphones.
Overall, the flight was long, but well worth it. I'm already having a great time and I'm sure it's only going to get better!
