How can seven women get from the “Chili Capital of America” to the “Cradle of the Renaissance” in comfort?

We are 62 year old ladies flying Delta 767 300ER from CVG to FLR. We have seats 20A, 20B, 21A and 21B – and corresponding seats on the other side (there are 7 of us). We love to look out the window, but will also need to sleep.

Is there a decent window at the exit row? Will it get too cold? Are we better off behind the wing to get the best view?

Thanks so much, we are not frequent flyers, and as I am in charge of the seats I want to get the best ones for my friends!
