Japan is nice, my wife is Okinawan.

Yeah, Okinawans are super nice and hard working. 90% of them would give a stranger the shirt off their backs.

They also live forever...their life expectancy is like 5+ years longer than the rest of the world's.

When I travel home for leave I will be making my own arrangements and the trip shouldn't be as troubling.

Though I wasn't happy with my flight to Aberdeen or to Bergen

Houston to Amsterdam to Aberdeen, UK
Houston to Amsterdam to Bergen, Norway

each was about 12~13 hours.

Japan sounds like a nice place, no bad I don't speak the language.

McBrain posted : Yup, will be the FIFTH time I've made this flight. It's not too bad if you get decent seats. I prefer the aisle so I can stretch my legs.

This will also be the first time I've gone straight from the US to Okinawa. The previous four trips had an hour bus ride in Tokyo between Narita and Heneda airports. Then a 4ish hour flight from Tokyo to Naha on ANA (All Nippon Airlines) with what seemed like no air conditioning and a bunch of Okinawans who smell funny.

I think this one might be the best trip yet, even with the layovers. Especially considering it was 53 hours from take off to my wife's car last time.

You have 30hr in Okinawa and you come up with Missionary Position?......you're still doing it wrong.

I've got 24 months in Okinawa...when said 24 months is over, I will have spent 4 and a half of the past 8 years there.

I've got roughly 30 hours on a plane/in an airport to get there (over 50 if you count the added day of crossing the international date line). And I can't do jack about the plane tickets...gotta fly commercial from New Bern to Seattle via Charlotte then Philadelphia. Then wait for about 8 hours in Seattle to board my AMC flight to Kadena AFB in Okinawa. The lay overs are minimal until Seattle, I'll probably get drunk as shit there before my trans-pacific flight.

McBrain posted : This is what I ended up doing...

Watchec the Lorax with my son then took 20mg of Ambien and slept like a log until it was dinner time. I had some grub with the fam then watched some twitch until I passed back out at 7:30.

For the record, I've seen that movie roughly 65 times since Christmas. The good news is that he is starting to lose interest in it. He now gets up and starts playing right around the time the Onceler is floating towards the waterfall, instead of sitting indian-style without moving throughout the entire film.

Skittles posted : Ipad games are trivial but a lot are fun.

Reading is always the best option for me, currently reading:
Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris (it's not what you may think). If you are familiar with Christopher Hitchens you probably know Sam Harris.

Other than that practice whatever your talented at (art, music, etc.)

Read something more worthwhile. I just finished The rise of Theodore Roosevelt. I've just started a bunch of back issues of The Atlantic that came with my subscription. More recent reading material: American Psycho, Starting Strength, Of Human Bondage, Civil War (vol. 3) and Freakonomics

Clean the house.

Play some online chess. Or backgammon.

Balance your checkbook.

Yoga.

Static stretches.

Build a model.

Paint some figurines.

Plan next years fantasy football draft. Or this year's baseball draft.

Meditate.
