Happy and Excited
October 31, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
We’re finally up in the air and on our way. We’re feeling tired, since it’s so late, but we’re just too happy and excited to settle down and sleep. I’m never able to sleep while flyingRead more
Our First Meal
November 1, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 32 °F
I’m not sure if this is supposed to be lunch or dinner. My watch says that it’s nearly 1:00 in the morning so I’m guessing that it could be either. This is one of the “Book the Chef” mealsRead more
Another Look
November 1, 2024 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 30 °F
Here’s a look at the full meal. This is supposed to be slow cooked beef short ribs, served with red bliss crushed potatoes and a herb and vegetable medley but it tasted more like stew meat. TheRead more
Stretching My Legs
November 1, 2024 in Greenland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °F
I’m getting up for the first time to use the restroom and stretch my legs a bit. It’s times like this that makes me so happy that I’m in the aisle seat. These shots took a lot of editing, by theRead more
Breakfast?
November 1, 2024 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ 28 °F
I’m guessing that this is supposed to be breakfast, since it’s eggs, but most of this meal was inedible. The worst part of it was the bacon that looked to be completely raw. I wish that I wouldRead more
Tray Collection
November 1, 2024 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ 32 °F
The lights are up now and I’m guessing that it’s to help the flight attendants in collecting the food trays. Since I didn’t really eat anything, I’m so eager to get rid of my tray.
Time for Drinks
November 1, 2024 in Afghanistan ⋅ ☁️ 41 °F
With drinks being offered, I opted for orange juice and ended up wishing that I didn’t. It definitely wasn’t real orange juice. It tasted more like from concentrate, at best, but was probably moreRead more
Lights Out!
November 1, 2024 in India ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
I’m up again for another bathroom break and, when I came out, I noticed that the lights are off again. When I get back to my seat, I’m going to try to sleep for a bit. I’m so exhausted!
Almost There!
November 2, 2024 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
I must have fallen asleep because, when I checked the flight tracker information, it shows that we’re nearly there. This is the first time that I’ve ever slept on a flight and I’m so happy thatRead more
A First Look
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
We’re nearly ready to land in Singapore and, looking across the aisle again, this is my first impression of the city. We’re still too high to see much more than lights, but it does look pretty.Read more
We’ve Landed!
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
The moment the plane stops, everyone leaps out of their seat to spend a long time standing in the aisle waiting until they can move. I used to do this also until I realized how silly it is. Now, IRead more
Where’s Our Gate?
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
Our connecting flight to Bangkok is showing as being on time so we’ve got to hurry over to our gate. It’s in a different terminal so it’s probably going to be quite a walk getting there.
Moving Walkways
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
These moving walkways are so convenient in the airport! Everything always seems to be so far apart and these things make it possible to get around so much faster. I especially appreciate them now, asRead more
Changi Airport
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
Changi Airport, in Singapore, has been named the world’s most beautiful airport and it’s easy to see why. This place is amazing! It’s like being in a botanical garden!
At Changi Airport
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
Despite being stuck on an airplane for more than 18 hours and hardly getting any sleep, Kathy is looking absolutely beautiful. I’ll always love her so much!
A Nice Walk
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
I wasn’t looking forward to walking through the airport in Singapore after such a long flight but it’s such a beautiful place that walking through the terminal is a pleasure! I just wish that weRead more
At the Gate
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
Surprisingly, we had to go through security checks before we could get to our gate, even though we never left the airport. We still made it to our gate with plenty of time to spare.
Delayed!
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
This is our plane but we just heard an announcement that our flight has been delayed for “about an hour”. Hopefully it won’t take that long but, still, after traveling for such a long time, anyRead more
Snack Time
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
Since we had a lot of extra time now, Kathy went back out into the terminal and bought some jerky. She got the pork type and it was so delicious!
Jerky
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 79 °F
I prefer the Asian jerky much more than the traditional American jerky. The Asian jerky is much softer and more flavorful than the American version. Each piece feels like a slice of cold cuts. This isRead more
Ready to Board
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 82 °F
Before long, it was time for us to board the plane and continue our journey to Bangkok. We’re exhausted, but so excited about getting there soon.
Our Flight Plan
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 82 °F
Our flight to Bangkok is going to be so much shorter than our flight to Singapore was. It’s just a little more than two hours so we should be able to do this flight easily.
Aisle Seats Again
November 2, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ 🌧 84 °F
Once again, Kathy and I have aisle seats, only this time we’re across from each other rather than sitting behind each other. I’m kind of missing the window though.
Welcome to Bangkok!
November 2, 2024 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
After a fast, and uneventful, flight, we’ve landed in Bangkok. We’re so happy to be here at last! The airport here is very big but, perhaps, not as fancy as the one in Singapore.
Moving Walkways
November 2, 2024 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
I’m so thankful for these moving walkways in the Bangkok airport. My sciatica has been bothering me lately and walking around has become difficult and painful. These moving walkways make it so muchRead more
