I can't sleep on planes. My iPod only lasts a couple of hours. What other activities can I engage into keep from going crazy?

The flight is part of the journey.

Join the mile high club?
Try flying the airplane, it's a blast.
Ask yourself, what would you do if you were stuck on that plane for the rest of your life?

That reminds me, Ivan, bring that book you were telling me about.
I'm planning on tossing on my bathing suit, slathering on the sunblock, and napping for a few hours by the pool before we do anything else.
They won't let you take knitting needles on a commercial flight, unless they are in checked luggage. At least that was my aunt's experience on her winter jaunts to Myrtle Beach.![]()

That's what I like about my Kindle. (Or any e-book reader.) I can load it up with LOTS of books. If I don't like the one I started with, I can go read another without lugging around a pile of books.Reading is good, but can get tedious if the story gets slow.

That is certainly an advantage. If I were still traveling, I'd have to buy one of those. I could load it with fiction, short stories, historical books, astronomy and astrophysics, etc. Is there a Kindle app that let's you download a pile of papers from ArXiv and read those, or do you still have to rely on downloading the PDFs to your laptop?That's what I like about my Kindle.

That's good news for my uncle's nerves. ;-)They've relaxed those rules again. You can take your knitting needles onto a flight now. I guess someone finally figured out that knitting needles really aren't all that sharp.

You should ask this question to the person next to you on your flight. Poke them in the shoulder and wake them up. Then play 20 questions. Listen to a lifetime of stories. People on airplanes always have stories. It beats burying your nose in a computer or book. You can do that any old time. You've got someone who can't run away for 8 hours. Muahahaha! Make a new friend. 8 hours won't seem long enough. And if they are anti-social then you can hog the armrest for the entire flight and apologize for it when the plane lands, or play musical chairs and find someone to talk to about the nasty person you were just sitting next to. People are the best part about traveling.
