So...after our sad farewell and goodbye to NYC and our beloved lifelong friends the Billings we made the long but wonderful flight to Hong Kong. My back had never been so sore...yet I had never eaten so well on an airplane...DO NOT FLY US BASED AIRLINES OVERSEAS (If you can avoid it)...For example on our way back from our honeymoon on AA my wife asked for a glass of water for medicine for her headache and she was literally screamed at by the stewardess that "YOU SIT DOWN...WE WILL BRING DRINKS LATER!!!!!!!!!!!"
In contrast water was brought around about every 30 min or so, drinks (of all sorts) were never in short supply (they even had them set out in the back in case you needed something right away) meals were served every four hours - and they were delicious...I decided (via their awesome website) to order us "special order meals" and I ordered Julie a 'low calorie meal' and myself a Hindu Non-Vegitarian...at first I was disappointed I pre-ordered our meals instead of the delicious salmon or chicken dinner that was offered on menus (yes menus) - but once I got it I was enthralled...I had delicious indian food for the entirety of the flight and Julie had sweet succulent chicken breast, steamed vegtables, fruit deserts, and awesome omelets...oh it was so good...I didn't get as much sleep as I needed because there were too many movies on our personal TV's...
Ahhh...coach class asian airlines - there may be nothing better -
