Don't worry going batty on this trip. Most of us have done similar trips and they seem to go just fine. Enjoy!

Thanks for the info.

I'm not so much worried about me going batty (I've done HKG and SIN a couple of times), but more my wife and son. She's done HKG, but son (16) starts to get a little wild-eyed 3/4 of the way on transatlantic. But then he's never been in F, which should help a lot.
