So began the long trip back home. A 45 minute flight to Makassar, a 2 hour flight to Jakarta, a 4 hour flight to Hong Kong, 1 night in Kong Kong, a 14 hour flight to LA, and a 4 hour flight back to Dallas. Flights went pretty well until I got to LA and got back to American Airlines. International carriers have much better accommodations for their customers, especially when traveling business class…short lines, free entry to lounges, etc. The security line in LA was pretty crowded and the flight was delayed more than an hour with no place to wait other than a crowded gate. After such a long trip home, nothing is more annoying than a delay on your last leg of the trip.

Well, that is all I can think of for now. I have pictures posted in the gallery, so feel free to browse.

Oh yeah, while I was in Hong Kong and headed back to the hotel to check out after a morning of walking around Kowloon, I stepped off the escalator wrong and got this shooting pain in my foot. So far it still hasn’t gone away. The doctor says it is a mid-foot sprain and the only treatment is ice, supportive shoes, and Aleve. This sucks! I guess it was from wearing my el cheapo flip-flops for the whole trip, aside from when I was working, and walking a few miles around Kowloon the morning it happened…also in my el cheapo flip-flops. I wonder if my nice, expensive Reef flip-flops (you know, the ones with the bottle opener on the bottom) would have had the same effect.
