Both sound pretty brutal. My answer would depend on where the layover was, if I was taking kids along, and how old they are.

I would go with option 2 then take a big bottle of nyquil. Drink it before you board and see how long you can fight it off. Last time i did that i found myself with my face stuck to the hallway floor 8 hours later. was not cool air marshalls didn't think it was very funny either.

Actually, if you really wanna be accurate, you should take Uhura.

I'm pretty sure Uhura is from Kenya

But I hate her hair!!!

Kenya sounds fantastic !!!

Don't forget to take a Mego for a photo session.

I'm thinking of taking Spock. Too bad the locals don't stay in native dress anymore. 20 years ago you could see a Samburu warrior in downtown Nairobi. The Maasai still dress traditionally for the most part...but now...I can't tell the tribes apart.

If the two hour layer after the five hour flight has you in NYC that should be just enough time to get to the International section and board your flight.
Personally, I'd rather spend more time abroad, even if it is just in the airport.

Not long enough to be Australia or NZ, I'll guess Malaysia?

Nope. Ape City!!

Actually, Kenya.

Depending on where you were doing the layover, I'd go with the first option.

If I were flying into Frankfurt, Germany, for example, I'd love an 11 hour layover. You could do a lot with a long layover like that in a place like that.

The flights all seem horrible, tho.

I would definately go with option two, the layovers are long and boring. When I went to Japan I had a 2 hour layover in Alaska and a 6 hour in Seoul. 24 hours all together.At least in flight you can watch a movie or nap without worrying about someone robbing you. Have a great trip.

My nephew had similiar options when he flew to Sumatra a few years ago.

I think we are headed for option #2. We have tried Option #1 many times in the past. It's a long haul no matter how you look at it.

We have even suffered through a 13-hour layover before, with a five-month old (Ethan). NOT FUN!!!

Hoping to hit that time warp and head for Ape City.

We are flying to the end of the earth.

I'm guessing you found the location to Ape City?

[wolfie]

I would love to be in your position and have the choice to go. You must be going to somewhere very nice.

I would go with the first option, it seems to be far more balanced.

You do realize they proved the Earth is not flat about 500 years ago?

My personal choice would be #2 providing (as stated above) that the first flight isn't delayed so you miss the second flight. I hate sitting in the airport.
Every flight I took last summer was a nightmare...both directions. I'll NEVER fly Delta again...and that was my first time flying with them.

I think maybe Jessica is trying to hit a space warp to the future so she can vacation in Ape City!
