Welcome home, Phurst. Thanks for the pictorial walkabout in China. I enjoyed that very much.

LOL, all rested up and mostly back on local time. Sure was nice to see my family.
I got to do one unexpected additional bit of sightseeing on the way home. I was awake for a lot more of this flight, so this time I got to hear the pilot announce we were passing over the north pole
oooook....im confused....u came from austrailia which is in the southern hemisphere......ur going to america..... which is barely northern hemisphere.....why the hell did u travel over the north pole? lol detour? o_O
or is there another north pole between here and there that i dont know about? lol
I was coming from China to Washington DC. The flight route takes you out of China, up over Russia, into the Arctic Circle, over the North Pole, down across Canada and back into the US.
