And so it begins. The big sit, the long agony of flying to the almost exact other side of the world. For other's I'm sure that might be true. but I'm going to be comfortable. For a start, the longest flight is only 12 1/2 hours long. And I get to try a new 'lovely to fly in' Boeing 787-8 from Air Canada.
I also happen to be fortunate to be sitting up front, so no sympathy for me please. I knew at the outset that if the expectation was for me to travel that far, and then run hard, I need not even bother if the travel itself would take a week to recover from.
I also happen to get to stop-over in a few favourite places on the way - Vancouver and Shanghai. The first flight was indeed painless, the plane is a joy to be in. Electronic everything. Enough so actually that not every bit of it worked. But c'est la vie. It's taking me to where I want to go and that's enough.
And now the journey continues ...
