Ask for "Emergency Exit Seating" over the wing.

Some emergency seating has a bulkhead in front of you. Although there is more room for your knees, you have no seat in front of you to put your feet under and no luggage space in front of you and sometimes no tray, or just the little one that comes out of the chair arm.

You can always try something like this:

This is chinese junk of course, and it claims it will charge NiCd batteries, but does not say NiMh. Probably better to get a 12V version of one of these and use a smart battery charger that uses 12V input.

Of course, this assumes you will have view of the sun, and it is yet another thing to carry.

Personally, I would just bring a bunch more batteries. You can get cheap ones at:

Along with cheap chargers.

Merry Christmas ! ! ! !

When I was there on Christmas Eve, the town was so quiet, I got a bit drunk and went back to my room early. At midnight the fireworks started, then I started hearing English voices outside my room. It turns out a couple could not get to their hotel because of all the fireworks, so they ducked down the alley that lead to my little hotel. The family that ran it fed them and invited them to stay until the fireworks calmed down.

The next day they had a parade where all the children dressed up, like Halloween, and danced down the streets. Rather a nice place to be for Christmas. I just wished I had known what was going to happen, I would have stayed up to see the Christmas eve festivities.

I agree, it is much better to read the paper versions of a paper. Easier to scan and filter etc. But for many of us, we have so many interests and sources for news etc, that we tend to leave ourselves little time to do things like read the paper. Sad. And of course, the whole paper is not on-line and you only get to read what they decided to put up on the web.

Bob L commented about Throw Away Trash Packing Tip, On Saturday March 28th, 2009 10:33:12 AM

I cant understand leaving trash on the floor for the maid to clean anyway, BUT dont only worry about the floor.

Shake out the blankets and sheets, look under furniture cushions, open all drawers, under furniture, behind doors, etc..
