From NZ to HKG

Finally found some time to blog... first few days I had no internet access but even after getting to Berlin, it has been hard finding time to do this. So youl'' find most of these are not live entries but I made sure I have it in my travel log so I won't forget most of the details of each day... so here I go...

21 Nov 2008
Auckland International Airport
Arriving a quarter hour early for check in, the whanau and me gave in to my niece’s urging for some food. Only this time auntie Kathy was a bit mean as she didn’t want to pay. I thought since I am the one leaving this time, I should give them the privilege to treat me like I always do for them when I am dropping (anyone of) them off.
I was even almost proud of myself for sticking to my guns (which I normally am not very good at)! Had a quick bite then decided to leave them so I could go and chek in. There was no queue, check in went well and the lady at the counter was quite lovely. After 10pm, waived goodbye to the family after going through immigration control. Then I was on my own. Mom actually told me to be very careful as have not travelled alone as if I was a young girl (I guess forgetting that I have spent more than 4 years in Hong Kong on my own before I flew to NZ the first time).

AirNZ in HKG

My first AirNZ flight...will be looking at this flight from a totally different angle . AirNZ has just been voted to have the best Business Class Service amongst Star Alliance Group. Unfortunately seating on 66D won't give me a chance to find out what so good about it. One day maybe? Worth keeping my fingers crossed.

The flight to Hong Kong is a breeze. There is constant supply of water being offered by the crew. I didn’t even need to go up to the gulley and ask as I normally do. Having a seat empty next to my seat is also a plus. Twice during the flight I even managed to stretch my back...still curled up but since I am quite short that was enough space for me.
