I wish... too long a flight. I'll go there when i get older and my ability to pass out on a plane has increased :)

It’s 15 hours (the best you can get) to the UAE and “ONLY” 9 hours more for “Down Under”. After 7-8 hours you are numb any way. Plus you could do a Hawai stopover going to AU and another stop coming back giving you more places to check off your list. Of course you will be traveling in the full sleeper beds!

Yeah that's true. I think 15 hours is my limit. I did NYC to Tokyo once 14 hours, non-stop i was ready to open the door and just jump out. I have no problems flying at all, i just can't sleep in moving objects, including cars. Sucks.

UAE is easy, as much as i hate Heathrow, it's a simple 6 there and another 7 to Dubai. 1 hour layover which in Heathrow means, RUN TO THE NEXT GATE! :)

looks fun. I've been dying to shoot.. If I get enough work done, I am totally down to come out to play. It's just the other side of my block! I bet Neill would be up to since he lives a block from me.
