Good luck with that. I don't sleep well when traveling and en route.

Here's a funny story. On the way to Monkinar 1 in LA, I sat next to a nice lady who is from the South (I grew up in Alabama). Her husband is a pilot so we got into talking about flying. She said she normally doesn't get nervous flying, but, once on a particular flight, she had dozed off. A loud noise caused her to wake with a start and she quickly sat forward and said "What was that?!" loud enough for all those around her to hear. One of the passengers told her that someone had dropped something heavy on the floor a little farther back.

It must have been the power of suggestion working on me because I have never done this before. On the way back home from LA, I was trying to get some sleep, but not having much luck - just dozing off and on. I must have dozed off again just before we landed. All of a sudden there was this loud noise and I sat forward in my chair and exclaimed "Whoa!" and looked toward the window. For a split second, I though we had crashed on the ground and were sliding. The girl beside me just kind of laughed. I realized right away the noise I had heard was just the normal landing noise and we were taxiing down the runway. I got a kick out of the incident. :-)
