Arrived in Sri Lanka with 2 kids but no luggage. 24 hrs on planes and 27 hrs hanging around in airports. Haven't done more than doze in 55 hrs.

Not that I'm obsessing or anything...

Time I will be in the sky:

Portland to San Francisco - 1 hr 50 min
San Francisco to Hong Kong - 14 hrs 30 min
Hong Kong to Bangkok - 2 hrs 50 min
Bangkok to Colombo (Sri Lanka) - 3 hrs 20 min

Total time with feet not attached to the ground - 22 hrs 30 min (one way)

Enjoy.
