Well, here we are up in the air on our first flight. Unfreakinbelievable. Who'd have thought we'd ever get here.

Anyway, we are now 6 hours in to a seven hour flight to Singapore, which will be a transit stop on the way to Bangkok. The flight so far has gone remarkably quickly, we have had two good meals, as well as red wine or two.

Most of my time has been whiled away here playing in flight Nintendo, and I can now remember why I used to call Super Mario Brothers Super aggravation Brothers. Aye Aye Aye, I am supposed to be relaxing, stupid bloody game. I have had a brief break though to watch "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind", which was an absolutely amazing film and definitely worth a second watch. (edit: fortunately I bought a dodgy copy on DVD...)

Karen has been on a movie marathon, and is now getting to the end of her third one. I know the first film was the same as me, but the other two are chick flicks of some description.

We have now begun our descent, and over the last few days I have picked up a bit of a sniffle so it will be interesting to see how my ears go with the decompression. I have got some of those "earplanes" ear plugs that are supposed to help, they'd better for $15. (edit: they work!)
