Vacation!

[owlmoose]

T and I are going to Dubai in the third week of March! To visit my friend M, who's been teaching there for a couple of years, and also to see the mega-architecture and experience a very different kind of place. We've been trying to get this together for awhile, so to suddenly have it happening at almost the last minute is a bit daunting, but I'm more excited than not.

Any suggestions for surviving a sixteen hour plane flight, possibly in sub-optimal seats, are very welcome.

Seconding everything everyone else said (except I'd suggest some drowsy-making/anxiety-reducing meds in place alcohol -- I shudder to think of the possibility of an in-air hangover, and that's entirely possibly with 16 hours), but also try to stand up and walk around as much as possible.

And you probably know this, but once you get through the security gate, buy a big bottle of water to bring on the plane with you. Being stuck with dinky little plastic cups incapable of hydrating anyone beyond a toddler on the dry pressurized climes of a plane is not fun.
