and progressed rapidly to this:
after the batteries on the laptop ran out. I didn't bother watching the James Bond-y thing that was showing on the plane, although in retrospect perhaps I should have done, since my alternative plan of sleeping didn't work out so well.But... the hotel has high-speed, for free, and I was greeted with a Big Bag O' Swag™ donated by the kind folks at a certain Big Biotech Instrumentation Company that's hosting me. Tasty, tasty treats and bottled water imported all the way from Tuscany (allegedly). Just right after a long and tedious day, started off by my usual trick of showing up at the airport several hours too early.
A day there, then off to Orange County again for a day, then home. With no time for sight-seeing, alas, although truth be told I'm a bit of a homebody anyway and would rather be there than here. But no matter - off to bed and I'll doubtless wake up at 4:00 AM, since dealing with the three-hour time difference isn't really something I'm terribly good at.
Good night, all.

Five hours?
A measly 5 hours??!!
Wuss.
5 hours? That's less time then it takes me to get to Gatwick on a weekday...
The last time I flew out, last March, I was on planes or in airports for no less then 23.5 hours. It kinda put me off flying for life.

I drive over 5 hours each way to see TWIL, two or three weekends a month. More when I can.
FIVE HOURS ? it took me longer to get to Valencia, what with all transfers.
nice to put a young face to the ricardipus - who is he, your son ?;)
Five hours? FIVE HOURS??? Is that all?
I don't really feel that way, I'm just easily led.
For me, five minutes on a plane is too long.
