Posted on: April 28th, 2008 Long flight

I am on the way to London to attend SAS’s Premier Business Leadership conference. This will be my first trip ever to London. It will also be my first trip to a European country as well. Moreover, it is my first trip in a business class section that offers seat that extends to a fully-reclined bed.

Being able to as lay as close to 180-degrees on a long-haul flight has incredible advantages. Getting some sleep is now a piece of cake. My trip to London is via Abu Dhabi—the first leg (Manila to Abu Dhabi) took about 8 hours, the second leg (Abu Dhabi to London) took another 8 hours. Prior to this trip, my longest trip in business class was a trip from Tokyo to Singapore, which took 8 hours. That trip was more than 10 years ago, and there were no business class seats that reclined into a bed. After about the 5 hour mark, I was already beginning to cramp.

Posted on: April 27th, 2008 What DVDs to bring on a long trip?

I am booked for a 5-day stay in London and now in the midst of preparing for a long 18-hour plane ride. I have several podcasts loaded, an audible book ready, and am now in the process of ripping a few DVDs to watch on the place and in the hotel. The question is: which DVDs should I rip?

As I write this, Mac The Ripper is ripping “The Shawshank Redepmtion” onto my external drive. I am also thinking of ripping “Apocalypse Now Redux,” a DVD that I bought a long time ago in Singapore but never got to watch (I did see the original though). Maybe I’ll also rip the entire “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

That’s the beauty of Mac The Ripper. Aside from backing up the DVDs, I can watch several movies while on a trip without adding to my luggage load.

I had no better idea today than to set the camera on timer and put it inside the fridge.
