I would say our flights to Hong Kong had to be the hardest we've had. We actually flew back in time (from Atlanta to Seattle) in a 4 1/2 hour flight. Then flew back to the future from west Seattle to Hong Kong for a 12 hour flight. We left Atlanta 8:10 am Thursday and arrived in hong kong 8:30pm Friday night. If it wasn't for the 4 hour lay over in Seattle it could have been much worse. The Seattle to Hong Kong flight was grueling, but well worth it. Dude and I sat together while Alpha Poppa and Zane sat further back in the bulk head with extra leg room. I watched 3 movies during the flight. The first was called "the good lie" featuring Reese Witherspoon as she helped refugee from Sudan relocate to Kansas. Why do I always find tear-jerker a on these international flights? And why don't these movies warn you that they will make you cry like a baby in public! After that I watched Land Ho an independent film about two retired guys going to Iceland to get heir groove back. Then I watched guardians of the Galaxy. I of course slept the best I could but it wasn't easy at all. Dude is lucky enough to be able to curl up and sleep well.
When we finally landed I wanted to jump out of my skin with excitement I couldn't believe we'd made it! We grabbed our backpacks, headed through immigration, exchange our currency to Hong Kong dollars (exchange rate $1USD to $7.70 Hong Kong dollars) and before we knew it we were in Hong Kong's airport walking toward the exit with a taxi driver. Hong Kong we are here!
