we've just spent two saturdays travelling home to brooklyn and are very pleased to be back. we left for the airport in saigon saturday at 8:30 am, and after 2 airports and 12 hours flying we arrived in anchorage at 9 am the same day.
one cool note about the plane we rode in from taipei was the interactive tv on the backs of chairs, so that everyone can watch movies, play games, etc. but these also had channels for two cameras, one a pilot's view and one an aerial view, so you can see throughout the entire flight what is going on in front of and below the plane. very nice, especially at take off and landing if you are travelling in daylight.
also now i am addicted to a game called shanghai which is played with mah jong tiles and was my saving grace on the flight. it took me over 6 hours of pretty much non-stop play but i finally won a game.
