I write this onboard a United Airlines 777. The flight from Naha to Osaka was crowded, but this leg is much more comfortable. I got a free upgrade to "Economy Plus" class, which just means a few more inches of legroom. Hooray for extra legroom! Plus I've got to seatmate, so I can spread out a little, and might even be able to curl up when I want to go to sleep.

We've been flying for exactly two and a half hours according to the little LCD screen in the seatback; we've travelled 1376 miles, with another 4107 until we hit San Fran. Eight more hours and I'll be back on solid ground.

Wow, that's a long time.

LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

Just kidding! After all, the ride's a lot less, um, "vibratory" than a CH-46, and I am comforted by the thought that when some passenger breaks something, it's not my job to fix it.

Dinner was fried chicken bits with rice and some broccoli that had seen better days. I shan't complain too much, as the rice was actually amazingly good for being reheated via microwave.

Future updates to come! I'm sure you're all breathlessly waiting! Not that you really are, I guess, because I have no way of posting this until I get to San Fran. I was told that they have free Wi-Fi too, just like Kansai did. I hope so!
