Flights and Time Changes

So tomorrow's the big day.  I leave Tulsa International at 3:40 p.m. and arrive in Minneapolis/St Paul at 5:38 p.m.  From there I take a flight at 7:30 p.m. and land in Amsterdam at 10:45 a.m. (their time).  It's about 8 hours up in the air.  My flight departs for Amman at 12:35 p.m. and lands in Amman at 6:30 p.m. on June 15.  That's about 5 hours up in the air.  There's an 8 hour time difference between Oklahoma and Amman.

So for those of you keeping score, I will arrive in Amman at 10:30 a.m. (Oklahoma time) on June 15.  June 15 also happens to be my mom's birthday. The first one since her death.  It could end up being a pretty emotional day, but I'm very sure she would want this for me.  Granted, she would probably think Amman was pretty scary (she watched a lot of FOX news), but she would have trusted my judgment.

Flight preparation

Aspirin and knee highs for circulation.  Amber Cowan told me yesterday about someone she knows who got a blood clot on an international flight.

Hand wipes for quick hand and face washing.  They can also be disposed of in the toilet.  You never know when they may come in handy.  Some stranger at Reasor's told me to pack tp.  I guess this will work.

Wal-Dram because I'm sensitive to motion sickness.  (I get sick in the car between here and Fayetteville).

Emergen-C to build up my immunity before the trip.

Pepto (Sooth) because it just taste so dang good.

I also plan to pack something to knock me out.  Amberdawn also suggests I pack earplugs and a mask.  Stephen says I need a beach towel to cover up with on the plane.  Anything else I'm missing?  I got the flight pillow, passport and other documents, extra outfit, toothbrush and toothpaste.
