So yesterday saw the traditional drive-by throwing-Chris-out-of-the-car-at-KCI as SWMBO dropped me off at the airport for my first trip to the West Coast this year. The flight to Chicago wasn't too bad, but the flight from ORD->SFO was terrible. No overwing which is a problem for a tall person like me, random Russian (I think) next to me who has no concept of personal space, and a crazy captain that pretty much flew us over all the north-western states to "avoid headwinds". On the upside, my moderately priced noise-cancelling headphones did a surprisingly good job at killing the engine noise while still allowing me to hear the voices of crew when they poured beverages down my throat. That's the other thing - did I miss the vote on when it was adopted that 4 hour flights GET NO FOOD?!
At the Marriott now, but not starting until 11:30 which means I'm up insanely early local time, like 0400 to maintain my normal 0530-0600 wake up sleep cycle. I knew I should have ordered breakfast earlier.
