Live blog

L is for live blog. My aircraft is still boarding and so far I have a really great feeling about this flight. As you've perhaps read from my tweet five seconds ago, I am seated next to a small boy who might be having some serious stomach problems. It smells foul in here.

Meanwhile, his dad, who does not speak English, is clearly chastising him. I'm hoping he's saying something like "You must stop it! This is a 3 hour flight and that woman next to you did not bring even scented hand lotion to mask your gas!"

I think they are speaking Portugese, so I'm going to use my very little Spanish to half translate.
