So does anyone have any book reccomendations? I'm looking preferably for something fantasy that's fairly big, something to read on my 15-hour flight over to the States next month. Anyone?

Edit: I'm also fond of British detective novels, but those tend to be on the smaller, finished in three hours side, and true crime stuff, sometimes, and often non-fic as well. Feel free to throw random recs at me, I'll probably read 'em even if it's not on the plane.

And yeah, I usually ask for a seat next to the aisle so I can stretch my legs easily, so I'm usually okay there.

*nods* You've mentioned that to me, but I somehow forgot.

Not having been on a plane for more than half an hour, I can't really give any advice. *g*

Oh, by the way, where did you buy that orange juice? I don't have that many big shops around here but maybe if I know the brand, I can search for it in the nearby grootwarenhuizen. It was quite delicious.

And thank you for the chocolate cake. I really enjoyed it, which is a first for me in chocolate cakes. It seems my taste in food changes over the years. And sorry about that hurried goodbye we had; I thought my train was going to arrive any minute and I wasn't looking forward to breaking my neck on those stairs. My train wasn't for another 8 minutes so rane_ab stayed with me for a while.

Oh, and the wind in Antwerp? Nothing compared to what I got when I got to Ostend. In the morning, everything was relativily peaceful but by nightfall, it's windkracht 11 and we couldn't see on the Kustbaan because the wind was blowing the sand all over. My train *wiggled* when it stopped to let passagers in. And I had to leave the station by waiting until a windvlaag passed. There was just no way to bend a corner with that many wind (even with my weight).

I'm sure I'm forgetting to say something, but I'm terribly tired now. Those seats in the Pizza Hut were hard. My butt was asleep by the time we got up. But very delicious lookbroodjes. I made my father drool just talking about them.

Bed now. :-) With my books. *clutches new books* Sleep tight and sound! ;-)

It's Delhaize, their own brand. They've various kinds of juices.

No problem, I figured it that much. ^_^

It was nothing compared to what's going on over here right now, as well. I feel like I'm going to wake up in oz if I'm nor careful.

And off course, the one supermarket not close-by. :-) But maybe Colruyt has it; they sell each other's brands if I'm not mistaken. I've found something that resembled that bottle of yours, but I haven't tasted it yet.

*giggle* Yep. There was lots of noise here as well. Today people put out their blue garbage bags (milk cartons and cola bottles), but the things keep flying away so we see blue things flying in front of the window from time to time.
The last two days, I've slept heavenly. Once I fall asleep, I sleep 12 hours straight. The noise of the wind really lulls me into sleep.
