We arrived in New York around 7 AM this morning after a relatively nice 17 hour non-stop flight on Thai Airways from Bangkok. Non-stop is definitely the way to go. If we had done the regular flight to the West Coast through Narita and then the cross-country flight to NY, it would have been closer to 25 hours in the air.
So, as I said it was a relatively nice flight: the plane was brand new, the service was good, and the food was actually quite tasty. The only problem with the food was that there wasn't enough of it. They only served 2 meals and a small snack. Definitely not enough for a 17 hour trip.
As soon as we arrived at the airport, we rented a car and drove four hours to Boston, where we are staying with my friend Luke. I want to get out and tour the city a bit, but so far I haven't had much success in getting out of bed. Defeating my arch nemesis Jet Lag is just one of those things where practice does not make perfect.
Not to mention it's cold here! Even more reason to not leave the house.
Oui is dead jealous that you've been on that new plane as he's been eyeing it on the news every chance he can get :)
Glad to know you arrived safely!!
Love you!!
