OK, we left our house on a black van limousine sent by the American Executive Limousine.
On the way, we stopped at Burger King for dinner. Then it took another couple hours to get there. Then, we stayed at Hilton Garden Inn just about a mile or two from John F. Kennedy International Airport and stayed there for the night. The next morning, we left at around 7. Arrive there, checked in, pass through security checkpoint. Then we ate breakfast McDonald's. then, approximately an hour before the flight, I took motion sickness pill, a less drowsy formula, it's my new precaution after what happened last year. On the return trip, just as we are about to land at London Heathrow, I threw up. Our flight is on Cathay Pacific Boeing 777-300, and as always, we used economy class. As another precaution, I have to go to sleep once in a while, so I won't tire myself out during battle against turbulence & dizziness. We are stopping at Hong Kong first for a transfer flight. Our flight path is fly north to Canada, fly to western Greenland over the North Pole, into Russia, then China, then arrive at Hong Kong. Also, speaking of North Pole...

It was raining when we got to Hong Kong, it was raining, so we have to delay our landing for 10-20 minutes. We are already late for our 1:05p.m. flight and we are relieved that it hasn't taken off yet. Only when we are inside did we find out that due to the lines of thunderstorm slamming into the airport that all flights are grounded for take-off. We haven't take off until around 6, by then we are suppose to be nearing Kuala Lumpur International Airport. But i fell asleep and didn't even remember taking off or having an ordeal against the turbulence cause by clouds. We arrived at Malaysia at around 9. But we discovered more bad news, our luggage's did not got there. In fact, all who trans fer flights in Hong Kong didn't have theirs. We got word that because of the storm, the crews are unable to transfer the baggage. The 1st thing that goes through my mind is: are they stupid? hey should have covered the luggage's before making the transfer out in open tarmac. Or they could have do it indoors. Anyway, my dad is having an interview for a new U.S. Visa at the U.S. Embassy the next day in K.L. so we stayed at one of my aunts house. We got it successfully. And we got our luggage's that evening.
