Back in the U.S.A.

Took a "red eye" leaving around 6 pm from Incheon Airport near Seoul Korea and arrived 6 hours before I left here in the U.S. I was okay except for this being the single longest roughest flight (in terms of duration I have ever been on. Of the 10 or 11 hours we must have been flying over hurricanes or storms or something. The stewardesses were nervous as they tried to give me clear soup with seaweed and stuff in it. I watched as the soup mostly spilled out onto the tablecloth there in Business class. I finally set the table up in the seat next to me and watched silverware, glasses and everything jump off the table and onto the seat. In fact, some of the silverware went down inside the seat and I couldn't retrieve it.

Needless to say, I didn't eat everything because of all the gyrations of the plane from bad weather below us. Good thing we were flying as high as possible over all this or it really could have been scary. The high altitude would cushion the impacts of wind vectors in multiple directions. I wouldn't have wanted to be a frightened flyer on this flight or it could have been really problematic for them. I've always loved to fly and been fairly fearless as a flyer. But, of course knowing it is all going to be okay before I board a plane as an intuitive really helps. However, this doesn't mean I can ever sleep on a plane because that usually doesn't ever happen for me.

So, about an hour before we landed it suddenly hit me that it was now about 6 am or so Korean time and the bottom fell out of my body rhythms and I was feeling like I hadn't slept in a couple of days at that point. Trying to keep it together through customs was a little rough.
