How do you pass the time during a flight?  What do you bring in your carry-on?

What don't I bring!  Usually I have two bags.  One being my laptop and the other containing everything else I need to survive a flight.  It really also depends on the length of the flight.  A normal flight being anywhere from 2-5 hours usually requires a laptop (+media), ipod, book, magazine(s), general purse contents, contact lens/glasses/toiletry bag.  An extended flight (>12 hours) requires all of that plus a neck pillow, sleep mask, thermal blanket, pj pants, extra shirt + underwear, toiletries, face cleanser, hand lotion, eye drops, wet towelettes, tissues, melatonin, ibprofen.  What can I say, I need to provide maximum comfort myself if I can help it, and believe me these things made a huge difference during our flight to Hong Kong and back last year.

What were your New Year's resolutions for 2006?  How did you do?

HEY! I still have a couple of days left! Overall, I'm doing pretty well.  There were some pretty big goals on the list this year -- and there are still a couple big ones left undone.  But I'm very satisfied with the progress and I've learned a few things about goal-making to put into effect for next year.
