So happy you got that upgrade. My only 14+ hour flight was in lie flat seats and I can't imagine doing it in normal coach seats.
I’ll be flying coach on the way home so I’ll let you know how it compares. I suspect it’s going to suck, even though the new 787s are supposed to make it slightly less hellish. My observation on business class was that it was “worth” the upgrade but I’d still rather save the $2,400 if that makes any sense. Like I can appreciate it but still would rather save my money. Does make me jealous of the dudes who rack up points traveling for business and can fly like that all the time.
Chilling at a Star Alliance lounge in Nairobi before our final short flight to Kili. Things are about to get a lot tougher but more fun.
Everyone will also be glad to know that so far I’ve kept my perfect streak going closing all my Apple Watch rings, despite the long-ass flight. Necessitated doing a hellish workout yesterday morning, and I’ve got some serious catchup to do this afternoon. Luckily the hotel has a gym. The mountain will be a breeze. The safari will pose my most serious threat: hours upon hours in a Jeep, no gyms or even places to run without risking being eaten by a lion. Maybe I’ll just do burpees and pushups each morning and evening but damn that’s gonna be a lot.
