Hello from Seattle! I'm visiting some friends in my former hometown, which is a welcome relief from the past week.
I managed to catch a cold on my last trip (which is highly unusual for me), and have spent the past week laying on my mother's sofa with a box of tissues, and writing trip reports like it's my job. ;)

Ever wonder how dozens of flights can safely cross the Atlantic at the same time, despite the fact that much of the journey includes no radar coverage? How do the pilots communicate with Air Traffic Control, and what kind of instructions are they given? Oh, and what’s the deal with autopilot—does it mean the pilots aren't really in control? I really enjoyed watching these in-flight cockpit videos from recent KLM flights from Amsterdam to London and Amsterdam to New York. Even if you’re not an airline geek like me, you may like them, too.
