Sound doesn't reach you from outside but for the low hum of the engines, a good half of the people are asleep most of the time, and the overlords (stewardesses) come along and maintain the people in pods occasionally. Kind of surreal, in a way.

The drive home is two hours, and having made this trip many times, I've found that once the excitement of actually being done with the flight wears out, about 15 minutes into the drive, I'm so tired that I just want to die to get it over with. Thus, I've learned to get the hotel and sleep right away, and head home at my refreshed leisure the next morning. —Jeffrey</span> Maybe it’s none of my business, but why get a hotel if you were effectively home?

Glad to see you back safely! BTW, thanks for making tripods, ballheads and quick release plates clear to me in the last few posts! Very informative. Sounds like a tough flight.
