I've had great pilots who describe all the sights on the whole flight, and then other flights they've said nothing. The time we flew right over Mt. St. Helens and it was steaming, the pilot didn't say a WORD! :~0
I thought I saw somewhere that you'll be on a 757. Those are mostly new enough that they sometimes have these nifty tv screens at each seat, and one of the channels you can watch is a map of where you are in real time. We had that for our flight to Florida. Not on the way back though, it just depends on how the plane is outfitted.
Well I hope I get a talky one:), and one of those TV screens.
