Flight from PVG to HKG

Because I need to get some work done on the flight from PVG to HKG, I have purchased a Biz class tix. Good thing, as my body type and the seat configuration in the "back of the bus" would not allow me having a laptop on my lap (no punt intended) even though for this trip I have my Sony sub-compact w/me. Price for the Biz tix was not expensive compared to AC; yes, never compare anything to AC as everything looks better, much better.

Service was good on the flight; roomy seat allowed my body to stretch and work. Got two seats all by myself just before b'fast was being served. The guy sat next to me got the boot. He purchased an econo seat but decided to upgrade himself. Hmm... Wonder where he got this idea from? His excuse was he read the wrong seat number; 31H compared to 17H. And if you have flown before, wouldn't you know the difference between classes?

It's going to be busy in HK. Getting all the final papers done for SchroederLo Associates. The name just rolls off the tongue isn't it? And then head over to HSBC giving my 3rd degree - no response for any inquiry. My account manager is on leave; the backup is virtually, no backup. Then to St John's to run some errands for my wife-to-be; yes, she has class. St John's, officially endorsed by Angelina Jolie and Wu Yi, the Chinese vice-premier.

And finally my wedding or "monkey" suit has arrived at the Zegna store. Funny, I got the email yesterday; very timely for the arrival. Let see if it fits me since I have not been exercising that much the last month and a half. And while in HK the last 2 weeks, I had been consuming large quantity of Chinese bakery stuff. Last look, still fitting into my size 34 jeans with some extra room - about an inch or so. BTW, wedding attire for guests is business casual or island casual. I plan on putting something on, "island fitting", after the wedding ceremony. ;-) Flip flops and shorts if I am allowed. :-P

As to the wedding, the only thing left is the dinner menu and the lunch the day after the wedding. Still working at that with the wedding planner; island time.
