Enroute to Brussels

Boarded at 6:35pm. Seats are 3-3-3. Screen in seat back is small. I demand a 55” flat screen! Oh, whoops, this isn’t Emirates.

9pm. Eating some sort of tasty chicken orzo dish. List of ingredients about 1000 miles long.
Lovin’ those additives! Rather sad looking salad and one of those ubiquitous dinner rolls, followed by some salted caramel gelato. Diabetic coma to follow shortly

Entered into interesting conversation with the guy sitting next to me. He was heading for a 5 yr stint in the Peace Corp in Uganda. Has about an 8 hr flight out of Brussels to get there . Don’t envy him that!

Pretty good turbulence heading past New York City but has calmed down quite a bit Got a 60 mph tail wind so that should help a bit. -55 degrees up here at 37000 ft

Reading a Kindle book by Daniel Silva , “The Kill Artist” (Gabriel Allon Series - Book1) - spies.murder, Israelis,Arabs, assassins, art dealers , Europe. All the good stuff :)

Ok, it’s one in the morning and they’re serving croissants and strawberry yoghurt to us - I guess it’s breakfast time. My eyeballs feel like a sandstorm just blew across them. About 6 am local- passing over southern England.

Landed at 6:45 amRead more
