24 hr flight

I lucked out and my seat was at the front of the cabin so no one in front of me and plenty of legroom. I decided to stay awake as long as I could to try to adjust to the 11 hour time difference(or was it 13?). Singapore Airlines has a great on board entertainment system with dozens of movies and cd`s available. I stayed awake thru Moscow, where we deplaned, went thru security and waited around a too small transit area to reboard. Moscow fron the air is unlike any city I have seen. Mile after mile of huge apartment blocks interupted by patches of dense forest. Also they have a nuclear power plant right in the middle of town. After being awake almost 24 hrs it was time to crash. But sleeping on a plane sux so I got maybe 6 hours broken up into 2 hr chunks. The food on Singapore Airlines is supposed to be the best in the world, but its still airline food. By the last breakfast service I just passed. Finally got off in Singapore at 6AN, still an hour before dawn. Singapore airport is huge. Its all carpeted. There`s probably a square mile of carpet there. A 2 hr layover followed by an easy 1 hr flight and I arrived in Penang around 9:30 local time,around 35 hours from my arrival at Austin Bergstrom. I still don`t know where my luggage is!
