It’s time. Time to hit the road. And then the air. And then the southeast asian road. Before I start driving, here’s a couple things of analytical interest.
First, I weighed my fully loaded pack last night and it weighed in just shy of 17 pounds, and that includes a few items that will be distributed to Danica.
Second, since I laid out my flight schedule for the trip over there, I figured I should lay it out for the return flight as well. One interesting thing to note is that it only takes 8 hrs, 55 mins to get from Tokyo to Portland, versus 10 hrs, 25 mins to get from Portland to Tokyo. I wonder which way the wind blows? The other interesting thing to note is that I (we) leave Singapore at 6:00am and arrive in Portland at 8:15am, on the same day. That’s fast flyin!
