Well Chris,
as I write this, you either are already winging your way to Asia, or are likely either at or on the way to SFO. Godspeed and best wishes from L and I. You and Christi are jumpstarting parenthood in a big way, so hopefully you'll get some rest on the plane!
... trying to elicit sympathy from the FA's? ... sounds like you are reverting to a MO from years past, maybe?
Good luck schlepping all the luggage ...
Can't wait to hear the first update.
