Waiting in Hong Kong

Good morning.

We have arrived at the Cathey Pacific lounge after 13 1/2 hours of head winds slamming against our 747.  Had interesting seats aligned diagonally along both sides of the upstairs cabin.  Each seat was divided by a pony wall that kept each of us totally separated from the seats on either side.  somewhat confining and not at all convivial, the space was well organized, comfortable and nest like.  When I wanted to sleep the seat slid into a flat, full length bed.  Two pillows, a blanket and my happy body slept for a solid 6 hours after a mediocre lunch and catching up on weeks of magazines.  After the intense and stressful last several weeks, I am ready to relax.   Mark, did not like the bed too well.  He could not get comfortable and slept only 4 hours fitfully.

Soon we walk a mile to our next plane and last let to Delhi.  At this point we just want to get the travel ordeal behind us.

Bye for now.  Julia
