The 28-Hour Trip to Thailand
... made J very excited. It's apparently the world's largest passenger airliner. It was a double-deck, wide-body, and four-engine jet. I was just glad it had ample leg room and an interactive movie TV screen. Yay for catching "Dark Knight Rises" finally. I had bibimbap for the in-flight dinner.
