Business class!

I don’t know how this happened but I am now flying over the sea of Okhotsk on the second deck of a KAL 747. I’ve got no row of seats in front of me and a full reclining seat, video, the works. Maybe the best is that there are only 24 people up here and it has its own bathroom. Just lucky. I checked in with 4 other program participants and the guy asked if I could prefer a seat near the emergency exit (you have to be over 15 and physically able to handle the door,,,) and I said fine, and then he says it is on the 2^nd deck, which I have never even seen. I sort of anticipated it was classy up there but it is the nicest set up by far of anything I have done on a plane. Watched one movie so far but wanted to get this down before I went into full recline and possibly nodded off…will try and get photos when I deplane.

Now in Chicago, waiting for my final leg of flying to Manchester. Raining. Probably no views on the way home. Forgot to change my Won at the international terminal so took a bit of a hit, probably $15-20, for doing it in the domestic terminal. I at least was able to do it. Was fearing I’d have to do some kind of Littleton maneuver, which I’m sure would have been worse. Starting to board, gotta go.
