1:45 pm Hamburg time.
To facilitate the last leg of the trip, there is plenty of digital gadgets on board to keep busy. From Movies, and videos, to destination information, music library of many genre, and a variety of video games. So I decided to watch a movie. How about North by Northwest (1959), a Hitchcock classic?
How about that!! A picture of New York central station!! Well that looks familiar ;-)
It has also been a lot of fun watching the GPS live-view to see where we are at any given time. I have captured some pictures aalong the way at 39,000 ft. that I'd like to add to Google Earth. Interestingly enough we'll pass by Baghdad and through Iran. Ironically, I was born in Iran nad have not been back for 30 years, and here I am just passing over the old neighborhood.
Here is a nice article on the airline magazine, Francis Ford Coppola is tired of comercial movie making and likes to focus on low-budget films. Now, that's our specialty in our schools. If it is good enough for the Godfather of film, it is good enough for us. Thanks to our Tech Coordinators' quick response, we have put a nice grant together for video editing capabilities at all Elem, MS, and HS to update existing systems. I am absolutely positive we will get this grant. So stay tuned, you are about to rub shoulders with Francis.
A couple of more music shuffles through clasics from ABBA and Bob Dylan and it is time to land and exit the plane. Over all it has been a very nice flight. I have adjustd to Dubai time and am tired and ready for a good night sleep. Wow, look at the 1st class!! they even get red roses. ... and here it is finally, the exit door. :-)
