Hello Hong Kong

Up early to catch my 7:40 flight. It reminded me somewhat of travelling for work. Luckily everything was done and all I had to do was make myself respectable and wait for the taxi. I was at the airport relatively early and made it through international security and customs super fast. I'll remember that for next time. 

Here's my chariot waiting.

The flight was fine and went quite quickly. I watched one movie "Gravity", a documentary on NASA plans for a trip to Mars and multiple episodes of "Dad's Army". That last one was a surprise; wasn't really a fan as a kid but really enjoyed them today.

Hong Kong was originally just going to be a brief transfer on my way to Vancouver. But when Cathay rescheduled my flights, one option they gave me was to stay overnight. The hotel is right by the airport, which doesn't bother me, and it's a Marriott, so quite nice. 

There's not much of a view, but enough to remind me of when Em and I were here in 2010.

Dinner is included so I think I'll be lazy and hang around here. Feeling tired and an early night will prepare me for the next leg of this journey. Besides, I need to do some more reading up on Vancouver before I get there.
