Our adventure began before we even arrived at the airport! As we were about to turn into the entrance of the Portland Airport at 5:30am, a large bull moose ran in front of the sign for the airport! We did what any tourist would do. We followed it into a parking lot and tried to get a picture of it. Alas, it was too dark. It looked a little tired and I would have offered help but I couldn’t figure out which of my four toiletry kits had the eye cream. Zack thought it had a nice rack though!
We checked in for our Air Canada flight from Portland to Toronto, only to find that the fifteen seat turbo prop plane had only one other passenger and not just any passenger. Matt Ellis, a Canadian hockey player who spent the last two seasons playing for the Buffalo Sabres. He was sent down to the Portland Pirates at the beginning of this season but received word on Friday that he was being called back up. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/article244474.ece
The flight from Toronto to Hong Kong was packed but surprisingly quiet for a fifteen hour flight. Thanks to Zack’s infinite travel wisdom and Stacey’s awesome planning we made sure to bring our own food, so I didn’t starve, and had plenty of leg room in our bulkhead seats. We arrived safely in Hong Kong at 1pm.
Let the Asian adventures begin.
