... actually, 1.6 times around the world.

Anais has already flown 41843 miles, or 67325 km. That's 1.68 times around our globe. Poor thing. And she handles it pretty well, too. Well, yeah, that's what one could call practice, right?

Anyway, I just played listing the flights she has been in: Hilo-Honolulu (5 times), Honolulu-Papeete (round trip), some miscellaneous flights in Tahiti, Honolulu-Sydney and back, Honolulu-Santiago (via Atlanta), and the longest yet, Santiago-Paris (via Madrid). The Santiago-Madrid section, non-stop, is little short of 14 hours and 6650 miles.

The worse in this is that she doesn't even get to be an elite flyer. Because -except for the HNL-STG-, she did not have a seat and thus could not accumulate miles!

She has been moderately sensitive to jetlag. Her rythm is usually messed up for 5 days to a week, with her being up till no time in the morning (the worse was 3:00AM when we came back from Australia). As a result, she is still not sleeping through the night, at 7 months. She tried and succeeded several times, but every trips would squash her courageous efforts.
