Travel plan idea blog

Korean Air flight was fine (plenty of water but not quite enough food)

My flight went fairly well - thank you for all the comments on my preperaing for a long flight blog entry. I wasn't really able to sleep much but I was mostly comfortable.

Water was no problem. I think it helps that I actually drank water instead of soda or wine. Also, I was probably awake every time they came around with drinks since I couldn't sleep. I'm sure the people around me, who all seemed to sleep annoyingly well, were more thirsty than I was.

There was less food than I expected for a 14 hour flight. We had a meal shortly after takeoff, then a banana several hours later, and then a while later breakfast (I was pretty surprised that choosing eggs actually meant getting a salmon omlette - I don't really like salmon). Luckily I had some hard boiled eggs to snack on, but I was still pretty hungry. I think I'll bring more eggs plus a protein bar or shake (well I'd bring the powder and the mixer and have them fill it up with water on the plane) for the return flight.

We did have personal monitors and could start, stop, and pause movies whenever we liked. I saw Bridge to Terabithia (not so good, sad), 300 (not so good on a tiny screen but probably good on a big one), and Wild Hogs (had a few funny moments). Sure I'd have been better off sleeping, but it didn't work out that way.

Anyway, now I'm at my parent's house trying to stay awake late enough to take my little sister (the one getting married) to a Harry Potter premeir event at midnight tonight. Since it's 10:00 PM Friday night now, I'll probably work from 10:30 to 11:15, take a shower, and then go to the Harry Potter thing.

Meanwhile, I have a couple of articles for you.

Brazil's politicians are still facing criticism following the recent plane crash there. This is a topic I'll have to research more since a friend of mine and I are actually planning a business venture involving tours of Brazil.

Here we have an article on family resort vacations. These are all resorts in the US.

Speaking fo traveling with kids, I can take one more question about traveling with kids in Europe for my upcoming interview with an expert.

Normally I run these things through a word spellcheck, nut my parents' computer is acting funny and spell check doesn't work. Please forgive any typos...
