To maximize miles, plus have dinner with my friend Thomas on Maui before a redeye back.
That’s YYZ-CLE-FLL-DEN-SEA, then SEA-SFO-OGG-SFO-ORD-YYZ, currently with 5 of those 9 flights upgraded (some complimentary, some using one of my upgrades).

Trash compactor on an AC 777
Cool, that’s the first time I’ve seen one in a plane!
Respectable economy breakie on UA

In Tokyo’s NRT airport.
Breakfast in SIN @ SATS contract lounge in T3
Very tasty breakfast buffet, both Western and Asian foods.
Like my duck congee, dumplings, nasi goreng with seafood, scrambled eggs with olives and tomatoes plus turkey bacon and tomato concasse. Mmm!
Booze was available this early (5:00am) but alas no Baileys for the cappuccino 
SIN KrysFlyer Gold lounge in T2 at 2:00am
Actually they took away the food at 2am, but not the drinks nor snacks. I just managed to grab a bite before they cleared it, as I had slept through dinner on the plane.
I was the only guest there (it’s open 24 hours) and the have fast Wi-Fi but there was a lot of construction (jackhammer) noise from the terminal
SIN airside transit hotel budget room
Budget room has nice shared showers and WC (private within the washrooms), for S$47/US$38 for 6 hours (min).
As it turns out, I didn’t really need it as I slept on the previous flight and am trying to keep my body on EST.
No Wi-Fi in the rooms (actually I did get a weak signal) but the power outlets we’re multi national.
Almost a full moon
Through the airplane window on the way to Tokyo on AC1
Economy meal on AC1 YYZ-NRT
Another flight #1! Seat 18Just is one of the best economy seats on this 777 (confirmed on FlyerTalk) as it is only 2 seats instead of 3 with lots of bulkhead leg room, and still had power (both normal outlet and USB); only downside is that the personal screen is a little far away, though not enough to bother me.
YYZ Maple Leaf lounge
Nice bright lounge in YYZ; lunch (and alcohol) are served starting at 11:00 (actually the alcohol is self service)
