Grounded...

We're on the ground in San Francisco to take on more fuel.

I didn't think I had gained THAT much weight.

Actually, it turns out there is a typhoon(!) in China and we have to "take a longer route" around it. So we get to wait on the plane while the fuel guys do their thing before continuing on.

One interesting thing about this flight I had not considered is that we seem to be following the sun as it goes around the earth. Right now it's 4:45 Pacific time here, which is 7:45 PM Eastern time and 7:45 AM (Aug 2nd) China time. I don't know how the detouring will work, but we were scheduled to land in China around 7:00 PM China time so I expect we'll be in continuous daylight.
