Day 1

This journey of thousands of miles begins with three airline flights: to Chicago this morning, then 15 1/2 hours to Hong Kong, ending with a flight to Bangkok - arriving at 11:30 PM on Thursday. I cannot imagine where my body clock will be on Friday morning! We have 3 nights in a hotel in Bangkok before boarding the Viking Orion cruise ship on Sunday.

Our flight to Chicago was easy - nice new plane with only two seats on each side, so it felt less like I was being herded to our destination. This was my first non-Soutwest flight in a long time, and I have to admit that having an assigned seat was a treat. Now I am reminded that I am not good at waiting in airports (3 hours), especially since I learned that with a premium economy seat on Cathay Pacific we are not eligible for the airport lounge. 😕 Now for the 15 1/2 hour flight to Hong Kong!
