48 Hours and Counting

After hours on the plane, with multiple transits, I'm have now arrived back in Hong Kong. That's 48 hours traveling straight from New York. With the final leg back to Penang in another few hours or so. Tiring.

After a night of snow pelt

It all started with the weather getting very bad (snow storms and all) in the US, particularly in the North East. And then our flight out of New York got canceled. I guess it was fortunate that we found out early enough (about the cancellation) that we were still able to get tickets out of New York - else we will probably get stuck there for another few days. The unfortunate part was that we had to pay a bomb for the tickets - last minute and all and had to rush to the airport to buy them.

So in 48 hours, we made it from New York to Atlanta (Georgia), and then to Plantation (Florida), and then to Dallas (Texas), and then to Los Angeles (California), and then finally making the long flight to Hong Kong. By the way, Texas was also hit by the snowstorm a couple of days before and the temperature was still around -8°C when we arrived at the airport - fortunately the planes were not grounded.

It was certainly an experience - though you would probably have guessed that it is not one I would want to repeat anytime soon if I can help it ;)
Particularly when during the journey, I developed a sore throat and have a nose bleed. The throat seems to be fine now after some hours of rest along the way, but it seems that the nose has became a bit worst - hoping it's just being "heaty".

Will be blogging about the trip as soon as I get around sorting the pictures out. Here is one I took in Schaumburg, Illinois. Apparently it's about 20 inches of snow there after the last round of snowing - glad I'm not around to weather it out :)



To friends who are celebrating, here's to wishing you a Happy New Year! May the year of the Rabbit brings you lots of joyous and happy moments!
