Our Cathay Pacific flight left at 9:30am and was to arrive at JFK 15 hours later. Once again, the flight left on time, and we were duly impressed with the service and comfort of the flight (another new Boeing 777-300ER). The 15 hours actually went by fairly quickly! The girls were terrific, fully engaged with the extensive in-flight entertainment, good food, and sleeping in quick catnaps.
We arrived in NYC, around 1pm EST, it still being Friday, July 15th. Our flight to Boston did not leave until 4:30pm. We were all getting very weary now and could not wait to get home. We arrived in Boston at 6pm (6am Hong Kong time), and quickly retrieved our luggage and took a taxi home. Elizabeth and Rebecca were asleep in the taxi within 2 minutes. We were home 30 minutes later. Elizabeth went straight to bed, but Rebecca and I gamely stayed up until 9:30pm, in order to begin our transition to EST. Rebecca’s first thoughts being home were how she could now drink water from the faucet, she would be able to eat a garden salad the next day, and she would not have to eat Chinese food for quite a while!
Amen!
