16 hours on a plane. 16 hours.
We survived.
Food was hit and miss, and the last two hours were pretty rocky. BUT we flew over the Artic Circle, which is pretty darn cool in my book. While in the Artic Circle, Kevin snapped a picture of the sunset..
Cathay Pacific is by far the best airline we’ve ever flown — the seats were comfy; they provided noise cancelling headphones; each seat had a recliner for your legs to provide optimal sleeping options; tons of tv shows and movies (including a movie called “Let Me Eat Your Pancreas”… no I did not watch it…)
Current time in St. Louis – 7:30am
Current time in Hong Kong – 9:30pm
We’ve been up for over 24 hours with most of that on a plane, and we are exhausted.
However flying to Asia is interesting, because the time zones are literally night and day. And if you’ve done any travelling before, you know that when you switch time zones you need to stay awake until it’s bedtime to avoid jetlag. So while we’ve been up for over 24 hours, we get to go to bed now. As opposed to when we land in Europe at 8am and have to stay up another 12 hours. Hoping we fall asleep quick, so we can get our trip going…
Tomorrow we get to meet up with some friends and explore Hong Kong. It feels so surreal to say ‘We are meeting friends in Hong Kong for dinner”! But that’s where I’m at right now. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to travel like this.
