Travelling

The flight over took 13 hours and was fairly uneventful except for the attendants wanting to know if there was a doctor or nurse or some type of trained medical person on the flight. I never did find out what happened.
There was the usual crying babies and unruly children who kept opening up the window shades blinding me. We were instructed to keep them closed during the flight, so we could watch our individual screens better. The plane was a Boeing 777 which had the coolest first class seating I have ever seen. The seats were at angles, so people could lay down. There were at least 10 on each side. They had all sorts of electronic gadgets, including remotes. The cattle class, where we were, had three sets of three seats, which did recline some, and each seat had it's own personal screen on the back of the seat in front. Those in the bulkhead had screens that came up from the side. We had dinner, a snack, and breakfast during the flight, and each meal was pretty good. The most interesting was a cucumber and hard boiled egg sandwich. The attendants gave us water all the time. Each announcement was in English, Japanese and Portugese. I now want to say "Obrigato" (thank you in Portugese) instead of the Japanese word for thank you.... Arigato (spelling?)
