In Hong Kong

beyond the ice, the food van!

de-icing

empty plane

Finally there! On Monday, Denzil "snow-blew" the 10 inches of snow on the drive way and drove me to the airport on more or less clean roads. We had a further delay (30 minutes, but we were 20 hours late anyway!) because the caterer van was stuck in the snow somewhere (they had initially announced there would be no food service at all during the 12 hour flight- so we were all ready to wait a bit more for the van!). Once the  nearly empty plane was de-iced (pink then green de-icing), it finally took off.

Six hours in connection in Tokyo where  I could try the public lounge - a desk and a plug were all I need! I opened the nice birthday card from Denzil and the boys and they served a slice of chocolate cake in the plane Tokyo- Hong Kong, only the candles were missing!
