Highlights: Flight back to Jakarta

Funny thing I discovered in my pocket at airport security: my truck keys! Ooooops! /=
Gonna be hard for Uncle T to drive my truck back to Boston without these! Thankfully there’s a spare set in my room.

The 11 hour leg to Tokyo came first. Northwest flies the long haul routes with Boeing 747s & Airbus A300s (the big planes). It was nice. Going on no sleep from a seat in an emergency waiting room to a much more comfortable seat on a 747, I passed out on contact with the recline mechanism after take-off.

Our flight vectored us straight up the US coast on a great circle path, taking into consideration the spinning of the globe over 11 hours. I woke up to stretch my legs & empty the glass of water I drank earlier… just in time to look out the window & catch this picture of glaciers below as we flew over Alaska, and along the Aleutian islands.
