By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

"Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol!"

In about 24+5 hours, I will be on the same type of plane- a Boeing 777. These things are MONSTERS. It's no 747, but still! This is definitely not the pond-hopper I take from College Station to Houston. I really hope they don't serve fish on the flight :)
