As Your Reading This I’m On My Way To ICANN Singapore On The World’s Longest Non-Stop Flight (Really)

by

As the ICANN meeting in Singapore gets going Sunday night with a few receptions, I’m aboard Singapore Flight 21, which according to Wikipedia.org, is the longest non-stop flight in the world.

The flight clocks in at 18 1/2 hours and travels some 10,000 miles.

Add that to the time change that has Singapore 12 hours ahead from EST and I arrive some 30 hours on the clock after I take off.

Once in Singapore I may have some slight jet lag for a month or so.

We will be giving you a and on report from ICANN although your comments may not get responses at quickly as your use to.

See you from the other side of the world.

    Well, safe travels. I don’t know if I could be on a plane for that long. I might get cabin fever and try to open the door. and probably get shot by the air marshall. haha. Have fun.

    Have a great flight – looking forward to hearing about ICANN Singapore! Singapore is one of my favorite cities on the planet – say hello to Orchard Rd for me and try some stingray while you’re there, so tasty!

    “Singapore is one of my favorite cities on the planet”

    Morgan stole my line.
    🙂

    I agree with Morgan. Singapore is one of my favorite cities.
    A lot of great memories. Went there a number of times for business.

    Really enjoyed River Front and Raffles Bar.
    And, a number of great seafood places.

    Just don’t spit or chew chewing gum.

    On the opposite corner of Raffles Hotel is Chijmes. Make sure you check this place out for some Dinner.

    In my opinion, Afternic sells overpriced domains. A domainer should evaluate whether companies actually succeed with their overpriced Internet real estate.

    I know one end-user who admitted making a mistake purchasing a domain. The seller is a company we all know. (Not a major domain company). This owner hasnt figured out any alternatives to make back their investment.

    The site is not operable. Afternic challenges those who price domains above $30k. However, they allow a domain such as maac.com to sell above $60k.
