Thank goodness for tailwinds! I'm pretty sure that for most of the 3 legs of our flight we were being pushed along by the jet stream at close to 100 mph. That took about 2.5 hours off the posted flight times which is quite OK by me.
I'm re-reading Michener's "The Covenant". For those of you not familiar with the book it is about the founding...

Een van de meest giftige is de King Cobra, deze slang...
