Oceania Trip - Day 2
(Note: this day was spent airborne over the Pacific). During the oceanic transit, the plane stayed on NYC time. I got about five hours of sleep, waking up at about the mid-point mark on the trip (approaching Tahiti). To pass the time, I did some Duolingo and Sudoku and did some reading, hoping to get tired again. That was unsuccessful because it was about 0600 at home. Instead, I walked a bit in the cabin and ended up talking with the crew. They were very nice and told me that the Auckland to New York flight was usually full but that the return leg was almost always only about half full (I told them that made the flight much better). Back in my seat, I watched a movie and then lay down for a short (maybe two hours) nap. Sometime during this time, we reached the beginning of the next day for Auckland!
