We took off at 8PM EST (4AM Moscow). Rain handled the takeoff pretty well. Once in flight we broke out the CD player - the headphones and splitter were a good idea. Had to crank it up most of the way to hear it over the plane but it kept us occupied till after dinner. Airline food is not all that bad. I had the fish - Rain had the beef. It even included lemon cheesecake for dessert. We tried the white wine - wasn't really to our taste, but it was kinda neat seeing a Pepsi can in Russian. We tried to get some sleep but weren't successful. I think with the excitement of flying half way around the world, the noise of the plane, etc. made it difficult. I know I got an hour or 2 of sleep. I tried watching the in flight movie. The airline had the audio on one channel in Russian and another in English. I kept flipping back and forth. It was kinda neat. Not sure what movie it was but it was a Nicholas Cage movie. Looks like the sun broke the horizon at about 10:15AM Moscow time. No sign of the ground, only clouds below us. I set the camera on night mode and got some pre-dawn pictures from 33,000 feet. It was real neat to see. I'm glad I was awake for that, though I know I'm gonna be tired when we land - should be around 1PM Moscow time. Rain is still trying to sleep. The plane is slowly waking up, I see a few people reading, one or two have the shades up letting light in. I'm trying to be courteous and keep mine most of the way closed. So far we hit pretty calm air, just the occasional flutter from the jet. Of course at 33,000 feet there isn't much air to get rough and at nearly 550mph I think it would take alot to toss a 737-300. I'm not sure but I think we're somewhere over Sweden by now - maybe a little farther along. Pilot just put the seatbelt sign on. Looks like turbulence ahead.
