Wow! Time really flies even in this plane that has been traveling for 9 hours since it took off from San Francisco International Airport, and will be landing in the next 4 1/2. I tried to take a long sleep but it was just broken nap that i made. I do not sleep much on the plane, I guess who can. It was only when I flew from Beijing, China back to California when I squeezed by body in the seat and, bang, has fallen asleep. It was the longest flight delay i ever had due to engine trouble. It has been a smooth ride by far but nothing will been the service of Japan and Korean Airlines...hehehehe, overall, good so far and nice crew and they are all well-groomed!
My day yesterday was fully-packed with essentials...from home, to work, back home, packing luggage, securing the house and of course making sure plants were watered, drove to the airport, waiting, and finally on board. All went smoothly and transitioned as expected...one thing I forgot to bring. Was my Swimmer's magazine, but Its the movie and ebooks in my iPad kept has been keeping me occupied on the plane. I still have have of the film unwatched. I am not much of a movie-guy. I tend to watch and pause and do something else.
Ops, I lied, the estimated time of arrival is 5 hours more and 15 minutes and not 4 1/2 hours as i said previously...wrong math..hahahaha! i just saw it from the monitor. Oh well, time will fly by. As a matter of fact, I am here at the back of the plane and just did my active stretch, but limited movement of course, and I glad that this aircraft has a big back alley.
Soon I will be in Hong Kong and it's my first time there. I am excited with eagerness to see this small Asian country south of mainland China. I've met wonderful Hong Kong nationals from my previous trip in Peru and I have a colleague at work who is from Hong Kong too and they are well-educated and pleasant to converse with. I will be in transit in Hong Kong and will visit the City of HongKong and four major places before I return to the airport terminal to catch the plane to Kathmandu in Nepal (with a connecting flight to Bangladesh for an hour...refueling I guess. Bangladesh?...Yeah, Bangladesh!). I will add details about the places in Hong Kong I will visit in my next blog. It's all virtual at this time...the reality is coming up soon!
It's breakfast time and the crew has started serving. I am not hungry yet. The Promax protein bar and zucchini bread my mother made baked for me (Thanks mother!)kept me full. Just a cup of coffee for now. Brrr...it's getting cold in the plane. This down jacket will keep me warm.
Time to destination is now 4 hours 33 minutes....getting closer and closer and time flies by indeed. This is a 13 1/2 hours direct flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong. Ops, a slight turbulence just flew by! That was part of the excitement...hehehe! Stretch time again...stay healthy even on the plane...a big Jeah! And ask for a low-fat meal...another big Jeah! I have been awake for more than 24 hours since 5:30 am now with intermittent short nap
Finally, time to destination .... 36 minutes left before arrival. I have the arrival card filled in and ready! As usual, all is good!
Life good because my God is good!
