Journal - August 28, 2008


Aug 28 - 1:23 am PDT - China Air is under staffed and disorganized. Had to pay extra $32 for carry on.
9:14 am PDT - First meal was GREAT. Roast beef & mashed potatoes. Got up to stretch. Feels like my muscles want to cramp. Seats are small. Almost 6 hours still to Taipei. Plane has front view & bottom view cameras. At night, over ocean you don't see much. Flying at 35000 feet. Temp outside is -48 C. 525 miles per hour.
11:47 am PDT - I can see the glow of the sun starting to rise behind us. The left wing of the 747 is siloetted ed against the faint blue/orange.
12:53 pm PDT - Talk to my girls via satellite phone a few minutes ago. Expensive but worth it!
