Friday, May 3 with work in Bangkok done, I woke up around 5 in the morning, packed the things I used the night prior, checked out of the hotel, and headed to the airport for my 8:20 AM flight to Hong Kong. The plan is to stay in Hong Kong for a few days before returning home, visit with some family and do some shopping for resin kits. The flight was about 2 and a half hours, for which I don’t even remember taking off, as I had passed out as soon as I got situated. My neck was hurting a little because as I had fell asleep before take off, my seat back was in the complete upright position. I only became fully awake after landing. The two and a half hour nap should help me get through the rest of the day just fine.

It is the middle of April and I get word that I may need to head to Bangkok Thailand for work, training on the existing system sold prior to when I started working at this company and a demo of an updated version of the system for a bid on a second project phase. There are no direct flights to Bangkok, Thai Air has seemed to cut that route out, so all my options put me at one stop somewhere in Asia. Naturally, I pick Cathay Pacific, as they stop over in Hong Kong – and I get miles as they’re part of the whole One World alliance with American Airlines. Flights checked in, Jason and the wife drop me off at LAX around 10:30 PM Saturday night – April 27, counter for work starts. Earlier, we had moved the rest of the big items out of Yuki’s place to our place, so I’m pretty beat from the day’s events. Oddly enough, we had Thai food that night; apparently, I’m subconsciously priming myself for a week of spicy foods. Nothing too eventful happened on this trip, went to Bangkok, went to Hong Kong, and came home. Hit the jump for the long version of this story.
