My life will never be the same again

It's day....I can't tell, maybe 2? Maybe 1? in HK for me. All I can remember right now is that I had the best flight ever from Toronto to HK, because all those Calgary flights - plus the cost of flying to London - suddenly became worth it! Yes, ladies and gentlemen - being Elite status and super privileged makes me feel special. I got upgraded to business class!!!!

Words cannot describe how well the flight went. You know how normally, after being on the plane for 16 hours, your butt hurts, your back hurts, and you're extremely tired and cranky? Especially when you slept for 45 min the night before because it took 5 hours to pack? Yeah...none of that happened this time around. The seats reclined almost 180 degrees! I could sleep! And although the TV sucked, we had noise-cancelling headseats! For the first time, I didn't have to crank the volume to max and hold the headsets pressed flat against my ears to hear the TV! And we got wine for free! And champagne! And they had like 6 flight attendants for 20 passengers, vs. 4 for 60! And they hung up my coat! And we had footrests, so for the first time my legs didn't dangle! And although I had a window seat, I didn't have to give the guy next to me a lap dance just to get to the bathroom! I could walk around him!

Sigh....bliss....it was wondrous. The most amazing 16 hour flight I've ever taken. Don't know how I ever roughed it in economy class before. If I do nothing else for the next 3 weeks, this will have been totally worth it.I even brought the menu off the plane with me so I could tell you what I ate, but it's downstairs right now and I'm using my aunt's internet. Let's just say, some of their menu items were "created" by Lai Wah Heen (although from the taste, I can almost guarantee it wasn't cooked by them).

It was SO GREAT. Seriously, words cannot express. I'm seriously contemplating now whether it would be worth the extra $4,000 to fly bus class to HK every time. Actually I think my parents should pay for it. That way I'll never be cranky getting off the plane again. :)

Thanks be to God for blessing me with the upgrade!!

Till next time folks...stay tuned for further updates from my HK trip. Although I can't imagine anything topping that experience. :)
