\"red-eye<\/a>No matter how many times I do it, I will never enjoy flying. Hurtling through the air in a metal tube will just never feel natural to me. And flying the red eye? Always its own special kind of crazy. That said, the flight was blissfully uneventful, and in a very rare occurrence for me, I was out cold before <\/em>take-off\u2026it was the weirdest thing, one second we were taxing down the runway, and the next we had been in the air for an hour\u2026<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t normally sleep on planes so it was rather surreal for me.<\/p>\n

Thankfully there were no hyper-active children on the plane, there was one infant who screamed terribly while the plane was still on the ground, but quite the opposite to most kids on planes the second the plane started moving the child became absolutely silent. Didn\u2019t hear a peep from them, or from any of the other toddlers on board, the whole flight.<\/p>\n

That said, it was a typical red eye flight, only three hours long, east bound, at night\u2026we landed at 7am when the sun was just breaching the horizon over Montreal.<\/p>\n

As is often the case, the company puts us up in the hotel nearest to the airport; or in this case actually part of the airport. Nice room, comfy bed, decent restaurant with good prices\u2026and it\u2019s very nice to be working out of a Canadian port, means I don\u2019t have to worry about converting funds or anything.<\/p>\n

But the night before a contract is always the strangest, you\u2019re in between worlds, you\u2019re tired, you\u2019re wired, you\u2019re thinking you\u2019ve forgotten things that you are sure you haven\u2019t actually<\/em> forgotten\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also your last night in the \u201creal\u201d world, because tomorrow everything shifts again, you take your place in your floating home, meet up with your shipboard family, start your training etc etc\u2026<\/p>\n

But for just now I\u2019m in a rather pleasant \u2013 although very sleepy \u2013 limbo..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
