Even though I have travelled around the whole world now, I am still not a great lover of long haul flights, but I WANT to travel to see countrys and explore this world of ours so to do this you HAVE to fly long haul. Once I had been to Australia all the way with just a refuel in Singapore, nothing seems to bad now!!!!! ha ha ha.
I cannot sleep on planes either, to be honest the I Pod works for me as I can relax and chill out to all the music I never find time to REALLY listen to. Readin a good book that holds my interest works as well, and I have learnt how to watch a film now while being trapped in a seat. Do you do crosswors or puzzels etc that might help you. Then there are the many meals they dish up and drinks etc.. so time does pass. it's not easy but I want to see what is at the other end of the flight.. so I am afraid I would say grin and bear it you have so much to experience and see when you get there. I have donw 3 JY tours to USA....
Boston, New England and New York. ... Fantastic... I could live in New England..
Nashville and Memphis...My kinda music Grand Old Opry and Graceland, what more can a girl ask for.
East Coastliner...Exhausting but so much civil war history I was totally in awe fantastic trip.
