We're sitting in the BA Executive Lounge in Terminal 1, freshly showered, waiting for our Finnair flight to HEL and some nonflight time. My husband says he is doing just fine, although his body has no idea whether it is day or night. I don't know if 24 hours of daylight each day for the next week will help! He has begun to fight a cold in the past 12 hours, undoubtedly a consequence of so many hours on airplanes.

The BA crew gathered around me in DXB, demanding an explanation of why a turnaround flight there. Apparently they haven't met any of you other hardy RTW mileage runners!
