Collingwood to Hong Kong

After several days of intense suitcase planning and packing, plus finishing our gardening preparations for the fall, we were ready to go. We had a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at the golf club joined by Peter and Heather (certainly seems strange that our traveling companions weren’t coming on the trip with us), Aggie McConnell and her grandson. We were back home in time for our 8:45 PM pick up by Mark Rich to drive us to the airport. Since the plane didn’t depart until 1:40 in the morning, we had time to relax and enjoy the business class lounge, before boarding our Cathay Pacific 15-hour flight to Hong Kong. The flight was fairly smooth, and our business class pods were side-by-side, which gave us the opportunity to talk to each other.
