		<description><![CDATA[Well, here I am in the Aeroporto International de San Paulo. I upgraded my seat to Economy Plus and it was somewhat comfortable, certainly better than the back of the plane that the crew calls &#8216;The Village&#8217;.

It&#8217;s now 11:30am and my flight to Fortaleza leaves in [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;ll be visible to us in Gemini just after twilight, or rather it&#8217;s shadow will be visible as it occults GSC 1914:301 on Friday night, 23:06UT. I&#8217;m still packing so not much time to write now, but [...]]]></description>
