China

Rachel has arrived safely in China.  They are a full 12 hours ahead of us, which is going to make adjustment particularly difficult.  But, hey, she’s on the other side of the fricking planet!

The Internet is amazing.  By simply Googling the airline and the flight number, I was able to access two web sites that monitor flights live.  I was able to watch the plane’s progress for most of the day yesterday.  That was cool.

Glad Rachel made it safely and did not end up on an island with strange powers.

I flew on Frontier Airlines a few years ago (out of business now I think) when we went to California) and they had little tracking maps on the backs of the seats so that you could track the route and speed as you flew. It was pretty cool.
