So, the flight went well... ~13 hours I think.  I was lucky that I was able to upgrade to an exit row, which makes a big difference for taller folks.  Like normal, I wasn't able to sleep much, and so I was going to write some code.  As it turns out, that's hard to do without internet access.  Other than the obvious Googlin' things, if I decide I need some random package, I'm SOL.  I ended up paying for wifi access, but it only lasted for ~30 minutes before breaking. ...
