I've always wanted to at least visit the homeland of my forebears (England). I have had one overnight flight. That was last year when Pat and I returned from Los Angeles. I thought the flight would be cool. Well, as you say, you don't get much sleep on an overnight which we found out. This year we won't be taking the overnight.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-76711528788193818322016-08-08T16:45:10.886-04:002016-08-08T16:45:10.886-04:00I have done it ten times too!

Leaving from San Diego in the evening British Airways serves dinner and with it I pop a mild sleep aid and sleep as much as possible because we will not be arriving innLondon until the afternoon of the next day. A couple hours before landing BA will wake you up and serve a light breakfast, then theres time for a movie before they serve Tea. Serving Tea before landing puts one on schedule for the time of arrival. Face it, it's just a long trip from way out here. <br />I think anyone and everyone who can should do a Cunard crossing. I took the QM2 from New York to London once for a six day crossing and it was fabulous. <br />BTW...Flying from here to Europe is easy compared to the LA to Sydney Non-stop which is a mere 16 hours....but so worth it.
