Jeanine and I arrived in San Francisco yesterday evening after our 7-hour flight, where we boarded this New Zealand Air flight for Auckland. Fortunately, we had strong tailwinds, which cut the normal flight time from 12 hours to 11. For the first time in my life, I was able to sleep comfortably on an airplane. I credit this to a new neck pillow that I purchased and a pair of compressions socks. I can only hope the return flight will be as comfortable.
