My Quickest Intercontinental Trip Yet

I am sitting in the airport lounge at the Frankfurt International Airport, about two hours before my flight for Hong Kong departs. It's been a quick but good trip to Germany for work. The weather has been gorgeous and the travel relatively easy considering I've had two strips of 18 hour travel in the last 4 days. But even as I sit here, I am reading a story in the International Herald Tribune on the possibility that airlines might implement standing only seats for passengers in the future. They are reportedly being pitched to airlines in Asia. I can't even imagine... Makes me hunger for the comfort of bed at home.
