Seemed so long ago but looking back, I flew three days in a roll. On Wednesday from YQR->YVR. Thursday from YVR->HKG arriving Friday morning. Saturday from HKG->PVG. Sunday a day of rest.
I really did plane, train and automobile. Planes were obvious. Train, the airport express from HK airport to town, then ferry to Macau. Taxi at Macau Ferry Terminal to mom and dad's. Yes. I had done everything. My head spin. Thank god for Peet's Garuda coffee beans from Christmas.
And to top it off, I am on the go again. This coming Wednesday, PVG-HKG-MFM again. Saturday the reverse. There are other trips pretty much every week .... I have to check. Good thing there is a no personal Carbon tax; otherwise, we will be hurting.......
On the flight from YVR to HKG, the purser handed me an envelope at the beginning of the meal service after we took off at 2am . I was wondering what that was. My b'day card. Wow. Damm... just a card! I thought they would give me a refund on my tix because I was flying on my b'day! No such luck. O well. At 3am YVR time, I just had a glass of scotch not to celebrate but to knock myself out so I could sleep. It was a long flight - 13 and a half hours due to strong wind. We had to cut through Russia rather than the normal routing. Landed in HKIA without any problem. Seemed the entire trip from the starting point in YQR to final destination MFM was smoooooooth.
