I’ve just spent the last three weeks flying around the world. Well — to be completely accurate — I’ve flown around half of the world and then back again the same way.

My flight to Dallas was scheduled to depart from Gate 5 at 2:30pm, and by this point I was very much looking forward to completing the leg, checking into a hotel room, and finally getting some proper sleep.
