So I've got a 9:40 PM flight this evening to London, and after a 2.5 hour layover I'll be flying into Tegel Airport in Berlin (around 10:30 AM CST). That means I'm going to try and sleep on the plane, of course, and good luck with that, right? I plan on taking two Tylenol PMs and seeing what happens. I actually wish I was supposed to go to sleep, I kind of like international flights. Fewer babies, bigger planes, generally more relaxed because, shit, we're all in this together for a good long while. Also, I like watching TV on planes. As David Sedaris has already pointed out, the high atmosphere makes even dumb shows funnier. I've also got a window seat, and the plane is laid out so I only have one neighbor. Good planning, Delta!
So my next dispatch should come from Berlin. Rock on!

I just hope you have your sinuses all cleared out. Blocked sinuses hurt like hell on the plane...
On the positive side, if you are on a window seat - you could perhaps look at the stars. from above the clouds, bah-whats more, from far above the ground - they'll make this perfect dome and they will be real life stars!!
I like the new design. (It's new to me, anyway.) Have a good time in Berlin.
Thanks guys! The 7 hour flight took 7 hours, and the 1.5 hr flight ended up taking about 7 hours as well, but the delayed flight (we ended up switching to a new whole plane) saved my bag from getting lost.
