We will be packing in a couple of hours, and are taking off tomorrow morning at about 9:00 AM. We will land in Hong Kong about 6:30 PM on Friday, November 2. Remember – Asia bound, add a day. State bound, subtract a day. Flight time is about 19 hours, elapse time is about 22 hours.
When you start a trip like this you surrender your free will to the airline industry. You can’t make any changes, and you pretty much have to just do what you are told. It is not that much fun, but at the same time it is not really time “lost” because it is more like you are in suspended animation.
We will be picked up by the hotel (an indulgence, indeed. But this is a vacation!) at the gate and escorted through all the complexities of immigration into Hong Kong.
SO think of us winging our way over the North Pole tomorrow. And the day after that.
Have fun.
ReplyDeleteWill you be posting while there?
I think so. It sort of depends on how expensive the internet connection in the hotels will be. I will have my computer.
ReplyDeleteSo once again you two will be following in the romantic footsteps of Richard Halliburton and who knows, maybe Richard Burton (either of them) as well. Have a safe trip.
