a quick look out the window

On the plane to kona now. About 2 or 3 hours left on the flight and I am well into my "hours" routine. Any flight longer than 3 hours - I break into hours. And, soon after take off I make a plan. The flight which left at about 7AM Hawaii time... Until 8AM - read book. Until 9AM listen to iPod and nap. Until 10AM - computer play time. Until 11AM - more listen to iPod, nap, have snack, stroll about plane. Until landing read book. This way I don't have to face a 6 hour flight - but rather have 5 or 6 little activity periods. A long flight - I will toss in a two hour period in the middle.

But, soon ... I'll be looking at lugging my luggage down the stairs in Kona. In Kona - you still walk up and down those old time stairs to get on and off the plane. You just PRAY that it isn't pouring when you get off. There are the stairs. And it is hot and you have way too many clothes on - even if you took as much off as decency allows before deplaning. But, you are in Kona.

Well, computer play time is ending... Next up - stroll around the plane and capture a soda.
