A 3:30 AM alarm is a shock to wake up to, and it’s all good. Our 5:45 AM flight to LAX was lightly attended, and once we made it to LAX, we walked to Terminal 7 to wait for our flight to Hong Kong. While a 4-hour wait is a long one, I’ve always been of the opinion that having too much time to wait is NOT a bad thing when traveling across the globe.
In terms of that travel, I’ve heard a lot about TSA in the past few weeks, AND the process was smooth, and the people were professional. I’m so impressed by this workforce working under challenging conditions to do their essential jobs…a shout out to TSA on this travel day!





Our group is no worse for wear, as you can see, and is prepared for the long day on the plane. Well, I should say as prepared as you can be considering a 16-hour flight. Still, it’s all good as we make the trek to Bhutan.
Our first stop, in Hong Kong, has us stuck with a 14-hour layover. We’re taking the opportunity on Saturday night to visit the Ladies Night Market (photos forthcoming), a market worth visiting. I’ll report on our overnight stay in the city, and at the Regala Skycity Hotel.
May you be happy, may you be well!
