so yeah, trying to contain myself is not really happening. Kicked off the plane... erm I hope not! it's 1:46AM my time and i'm going absolute CRAZY!!!!
so yeah. I thought about taking pictures or even a video but I don't want anyone to see it.. so let's just pretend that i have been drinking nothing but WATER and i'm sitting here on the couch like a good little boi with perfect manners!!! :)
Ok enough of that... I board around 2:15AM and our plane departs at 2:45AM. yes that is YOUR TIME. we arrive Hong Kong around erm... i don't know. let's just say like 14 hours later.. I think.. but not sure.
(OK side note. Why does google spell check not know the word "Don't" ?????? uhg). Alcohol... erm i mean Coffee and typing do NOT MIX....
ok i'm sitting in the "First Class Lounge" with like 6 other up tight, antisocial OLD men. talk about being OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE. I have my earphones plugged into dance music and i'm typing trying to sit still. Yes I said "TRYING". but totally NOT HAPPENING..... They are all reading "Business & Financial" Sections of the papers and stuff. one guy is on the computer and the phone yelling at what appears to be a manger of his business, cussing and yelling... I wan to go over and slap him... but I won...... erm hang on i'm going over!!!!!
Ok I slapped him good and gave him a good talking to. All is kind of calm. well everyone is calm but me. My head is spinning like a propeller, and my body is like uhm... maybe a really super tired but yet, sugar high with lot's of caffeine child trying to go to bed.. (Basically Bed is NOT HAPPENING!!!!) and running around the house is. :)
Ok back to calm for a second. still waiting to board this plane. Yikes...
My seat is 1K. Can you get any closer to the cockpit? I don't think so. 1K that is pretty darn close. I did tell them I was a pilot and they laughed. told me to "Stay back in first class!". ugh. :( sad.
Ok i think i'm going to post this. even though i'll probably regret it... later. yeah I should disable the comment section of my blog. I think i will.
Finally time to board the plane.
I was still hyper but had to subdue! Did they let me on? Well I’m in Hong Kong. So you figure it out! Walking to the gate was quite exhilarating. I met Tundor (????) erm he is from Hong Kong. I absolutely have no clue how to spell his name. Anyhow, I got to the gate and found 2 check in lines for first class. Ok now understand there is only 6 SEATS IN FIRST CLASS!!!!! And 2 check in lines. That is an average of 3 people per line! And there is 1 check in line for Business and coach. How many seats in business and coach oh about 350! That would be an average of 350 people to 1 check in line for business and coach! I don’t get it. Oh well. The speed clocked for me to check in and get to my seat was about 25 seconds. How many people greeted me from check in to seat? Oh about 6!!!!
Ok I got my seat and still was super excited. Did I sit down? NOPE! Of course not Mr. Socialite (Cuz of all the “COFFEE”) had to meet everyone around me… (ok I’m not going talk about that!!!). I did my dance, talked with the 3 (I cannot CAP the number 3, but I’m sure I can express my delight that I had THREE flight attendants catering to ME!!!!!!!!!!) Ok photo’s!
The first Flight attendant (Yes I was too liquored…. Coffee’d up to remember their names…) asked me if I wanted something to drink. I said of COURSE I would like some champagne… erm I mean a LATTE!!!
Ok I was way too excited to drink the Latte so I just continued to dance around. Take photo’s, and uhm…. Well just dance around. My “POD” is so big!
Anyhow, as soon as I finished my Latte we began to push back. (oh PS First class is FULL). I don’t know why but I have been writing about as much as I can remember in my Caffeine infused state! But they seem to be hovering around me!!!! And everyone is saying hi, and asking if I need anything etc. OMG I love first class!
Ok we took off and turned north and we are on our way to Hong Kong! They asked if I wanted to eat? Are you kidding of course I want to eat! So here we go!
Dinner:
Ok so dinner started about 20 minutes after take off. Following is the MENU!
What did I order? Well first it was the caviar and the salmon. Did I try the caviar? YES! Please note the before and after PHOTO’S! I ate a bite of Caviar!
IT TASTED FISHY! EW YUKIE! IT WAS DISCUSTING! Yes I DO NOT LIKE MOST FISH! I did however eat the somewhat RAW salmon, and all of the other WEIRD STUFF. Crackers wine, bread… and now the SALAD!
YUMMY! What the Heck is up with the amount of FISH they are serving? I ordered STEAK!
Ok I took off the shrimp. But I did eat two of them… and I’m on glass number (two! 2) of my “Latte!!!! Remember I do not drink! I’m also on show number 2 of Family guy by now. It’s 4:05AM my time. I have no clue where I’m at. Somewhere over Canaska I think. My phone, clicker, wand, thingy say there is 11 hours and 4 minutes to go, as I get served my STEAK! YUMMY. No fish on this plate! Woot! I guess you can say this is my last meal for 2 weeks.. I think kind of… LOL
OMG so they gave me a steak knife! Well see for yourself. It looks like a butter knife. But it cut’s steak like a steak knife. I’m not exactly feeling safe with these knifes on the flight. So if they cut steak couldn’t they cut people? SCAREY!
Ok I ate so much Caviar that I could not finish the steak. See photo’s.
Ok something I learned while eating dinner… wait is this dinner? Because it’s like 4:22AM? But it’s dinner like. Uhm I’m so confused right now. I have been up for EVER and I’m 39….. this just isn’t normal for me!
Ok it’s 4:35AM my time and I’m crashing FAST. So it’s 4:35PM where I’m going so…. I ordered what else REAL COFFEE! It’s actually very good! Coffee and cream. YUMMY. But I’m still crashing, like and ADD kid who was hyped up on Sugar and Caffeine for hours and then the total cut off and Crash!
So I’m into my third TV show “Family Guy” kicking back drinking coffee. Feet kicked up comfortably relaxed, watching the sunrise somewhere in northing Alaska. Well ok the sun isn’t rising but it’s up in Alaska somewhere off the right side of the aircraft way off in the distant.
Ok. I’m probably going to fall asleep here soon………………..OOOOOOOPS I fell asleep!
Ok Now imagine for a minute you are laying in bed. Laying On your back. And you have a seatbelt loosely around your hips. Now stretch your toes as far as they can go. Now stretch your arms and fingers are far above your head, as far as they can go. Feel’s nice huh? I just did that while sleeping in a bed that is nicer than my own bed at home!
Well I fell asleep around 10 hours and some minutes from our destination, while watching a movie. My sleep however was not as great as the bed. Imagine now that you are in the middle of Phoenix, AZ in August. Yeah HOT! And DRY! Oops. So after my first sleep, I woke up and we had around 10 hours to go exactly. Asleep again and I had 9 hours 30 minute, then 8 hours and 50 minutes, then 8 hours and 15 minutes, then 7 hours something minutes… and finally was wide awake at 6 hours and 37 minutes. Uhg.
As I awoke from my great sleep, Eric (one of my three flight attendants) asked if I would like a cup of coffee and a hot towel. How can I say no. so while drinking coffee (Yes Real Coffee) I began having a serious, painful cramp in one of my leg’s. Yeah it was painful but at least I could stretch out for the 8 minutes it lasted. I couldn’t cry. So I screamed into my pillow.
After like 7 movies, dinner, Snack, and Breakfast and lot's of coffee we landed. I'll update that later..
Is it later yet?
Ok i have to talk to you about the bathrooms in first class. There are 2 bathroom's for 6 people. here are some photo's;
NEED I SAY MORE?
