+:: Hong Kong 19 June 2005 - Homeward Bound : Our Plane CA735 ::+
Day Four (19th June, Sun)
We checked out of our hotels & bid farewell to the wonderful hotel staff with reluctant hearts. The place has been so beautiful & clean, the experiences so surreal & the people so polite & helpful. How could anyone bear to leave? But alas, reality tells us otherwise! But! Wonders never cease!
We made our way to the airport via a small minibus, on the way we were both quiet, trying to absorb as much of the scenery of this elegant country as we could with the time we had left in it. At the check in counter, we were told that the plane was packed & we might have to be separated but the airline crew will try & make alternative arrangements for us if possible... but not in the way we had least expect it to be!
Once we board the lane, we were ushered to our seats ... in the FIRST CLASS! *shreeks* First class on board 2005 best airline of the world! Can you imagine that??? We sat in huge lush chairs with personal TVs, table laid with table cloth, offered wine, addressed by name, served gourmet food! It was too good to be true! We were so amazed that we took so many pictures of ourselves! Silly Singaporeans! :) I happily watched "Hitch" in my large cushy airchair & had the time of my life living like royalty! But ... it's good to be home. :)
