and had to listen to a Right Wing Christian fundie trying to poke at me the whole trip..." I know all about you left wing socialist commies "...when I put my earphones on, he would poke me in the shoulder to get my attention..
I told him it was an act of God, when unexpected turbulence kicked in, and knocked my hot coffee right into his lap..he didn't bother me after that..

On a 12 hour flight, pretty much everyone has to take a crap at some point and they don't ventilate those sardine cans to the outside.

I've flown to SE Asia several times, and if your carrier is anything like mine they go our of their way to make the trip as easy as possible.

On EVA Air they gave us slippers and eyeshades and gourmet meals with good wine.

And you never know who you're gonna run into. On a layover in Singapore we saw Wesley Snipes, who said he was filming a movie over there. Had some very big bodyguards with him, but my stepson got through and talked to him.

Hope you had a great trip, HipChick!
