We left the LaRue at noon for the taxi ride to the airport. The security guard called one of his taxi driver friends. He told us that the driver would not charge us for our luggage. The trip cost $378 HK. It was a rainy trip through the city. We arrived without incident.
The plan was to leave at 3PM but was delayed till about 4PM. We started our run down the runway at 4:32pm it was 50 seconds before we left the ground. This was the longest run I have ever timed, it usually take 35 seconds to leave the ground. We were in a fully loaded 747 on a 12 hour flight to Vancouver. The meals on this flight were not that great. The first meal was fried fish fingers with pineapple fried rice. The second meal was a rice dumpling with chili sauce and glutinous rice wrapped in a tea leaf.
In Vancouver we were only allowed to go to a transfer waiting area. We were hear for about 2 hours. We arrived at JFK around 10:30PM. I called the hotel and ask how we were suppose to get to the hotel. We had to take the airport train to stop B, then the bus would come and pick us up from there. We made it to our room about 12 after a 24 hour journey.
