ah. Hadn't thought of that. I was wondering what happened to the Dixie Flyer that Randy Newman sang about.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Dude. I am crossing FOUR fucking continents to get there.
So, moving Seattle closer to Virginia won't make a significant difference to you, then? Good, good.
And yet this seems to be the direction people go.
How bizarre! The airlines know the world is round, right? You'll be so jetlagged, you'll have caught up with your own sleep cycle by the time you get there. Faster than the speed of sleep!

That's completely weird. When I've traveled to China, Japan, etc, I've flown over the Pacific. Can't imagine going the other way. Ouch.

I would imagine it's more economical to take less fuel and make more refueling stops across Asia and Europe than to have every flight load up for the Pacific crossing.

Even then, it's possible that the cost of shipping the jet fuel to Hawaii more than equals out the cost for more refueling stops on the westward route.

Well, it will be easier because I'm not making the mistake of letting her LEAVE SEATTLE this time.
