Well guys its once again time for one of BF2s longest running lurkers to actually draw attention to himself; as those of you who pay attention / care may know I'm buggering off to Colorado for 9 months for my second year of uni. I leave at 5:50 monday morning and have about 19 hours of travelling until I actually arrive in Denver. I would appreciate it if some kind souls (or bored sods) could give me some advice as to what to do to stay awake and not bore myself to death on this trip.

Sadly I know that I am flying with Delta as I simply couldn't afford the niceness of Virgin Atlantic.

By the way, thanks again for all the useful advice about phones from my last topic.

Self-medicated coma. Also for 19 hours that must be a hell of a long layover.

6 Hour layover at JFK, I am also including the hour and a half on the train to the airport. Though thats not including the waiting and checking in time (3 hours).

By the way, I am actually unable to sleep in public. I get paranoid and such.

you're looking at a seven hour time difference, i'd gradually acclimate to it. as for the trip, bring two books - going back and forth would keep you from being bored of either.

Fuck me, 6 hours? I'd set aside $100 for a cab there and back, and go do some sightseeing...

Yeah, 6 hours. I have to check out my luggage and then check in again though so I don't know how much time I will have given I also have to go through US immigration.

True. Immigration will most likely take you at least an hour, and then a cab into Manhattan will be another 45 mins/hour each way, depending on traffic. But you could probably spend an hour in Manhattan for lunch or something.

You should practice your practical chemistry on the plane with all of the 100ml bottles they let you bring!

By hang do you mean stalk?

Althought Kimm did give me the idea of going to a gig at red rocks when she mentioned them before so I am definately going to do that at some point.

By hang out I mean slip her a digit whilst in a public location. I'm sure she'd be down for that.

Gameboy - BUT NO BATTERIES!

You will spend at least an hour asking around the plane for spare batteries.

Self medicate (not with alcohol though, that will dehydrate you and combined with the dry airplane air, you will suffer). Learn to overcome your fear of public repose.

Bring something to watch movies and shows on. Mobile phone, iPod/Zune, etc.

Books.

Count clouds out the window.

Thanks for all the suggestions people.

Just to clarify its not a phobia or anything against sleeping in public its just that I physically can't do so, I am not scared just uncomfortable and wary.
