I'll have to figure out a way to tolerate such a long plane trip. I hear it's something like 20 hours. The longest I was ever on a plane was on a trip to Hawaii 15 years ago. I thought I would go crazy! I'm not one to sit still for very long.

,,, AKL to LAX is twelve hours. I do customs and immigration then a flight to ORD is less than five hours. These days there's eight or so movies and a myriad of in flight CDs to select from. In days gone by, once they'd fed you and the only movie had run out, to relieve boredom I resorted to terrorist action. Instead of yelling "is there a doctor on board?", I'd yell "is there a democrat on board?" If you get bored, that line is sure to guarantee a fun ride and time passes a lot quicker.

ROFL!!! Definitely "fighting words" if ever I heard any! I'll keep that in mind in case I am fortunate enough to schedule a trip to your country.

Thank-you for great conversation and correspondence, ((((shaggy eel)))))
