Just did a ULR IAH trip. Spent about 20 hrs at the hotel and got back to DXB absolutely shattered. I was in bed for the entire day dog tired. Never felt that tired in all my life after a trip. I slept in the next day as well and felt like I had caught up. Pretty hard to nap b4 a flight especially after just sleeping for 8 hrs. Flew back with mind in a constant sleepless haze.

I can only imagine what LAX will be like:

- Delays out of DXB.
- Flight time just under 17hrs.
- Directly over the poles for a years supply of x-rays.
- Stressing about where to put her down (if we had to) flying over the arctic wilderness
- Low Fuel Temp Problems
- Another 20 hrs at the hotel
- 6 hrs at Disneyland with the CC
- Another years supply of x-rays on the way back
- 35 hrs in a tincan and another year older in dog years

Anyone care to take this further?
