I'm leaving on a jet plane! (for a 20-hour journey)

My Goddess has left! I miss her so much!! Here's her adventure for the day:

After weeks of preparation, I'm finally on my way to the airport. Flight is at 2.40pm but we've to check in 2 hours earlier so we reached the airport at 12.30pm.

The day we set off is the day that the 100ml liquids on board is implemented. As such, to save money, we didn't buy ourselves any drinks, but drink from the different water coolers found around the airport.

Once on board, we were served snacks - peanuts. Unfortunately, it's too hard for my tightened teeth (told my orthodontist I'll be away from 3 months so he tightened like mad for me!), so luckily for me, I brought along left over food from hall.

The packet was inflated like mad due to the pressure difference!

Luckily for us, there was inflight entertainment on the 4-hours plus flight. So I watched "Stomp the Yard".

And bub then was inspired by them and did the look and the dance...

Dinner on flight

Feeling bored on flight, we played with the camera...

And finally, we reached Taipei Airport for our 1st transit which we had to wait for about 4 hours.

We then boarded another China Airlines flight heading for Los Angeles. It was a crazily long flight that took 12 hours. Couldn't really sleep at all. So watched "Happily N'ever After", "Music and Lyrics" and half of "Norbit".

Had our delicious dinner and breakfast, and a view of US

And finally, we reached U.S!!

But that's not all, we have to wait for another 4 hour transit at the L.A. airport to transit to Atlanta.

Bub decided to DOTA during the wait.

After another 4++ hours, we reached Atlanta airport, waited for another 1 hour for our other hour transit to Richmond.

My 1st encounter with Bath and Body Works! So exciting!!!

The newspaper box.

And last but not least, we shared a mini bus with a few other people to the hotel - Quality Inn. By then, it was already 12 midnight in Singapore.

Bub and I were hungry, so we wanted to head out with his roomies and friends to town. We bathed and headed out (Haven't bathed for one day!!) Unfortunately, we almost board the wrong bus and wasted USD 1.75 (SGD3 or so). Then we searched around for food but there were like so ex, at least USD 12 per person. Don't want to waste money, we went to the supermarkter nearby called 'Big Lot' to buy the only type of cup noodles availabe (or should I say bowl noodle). It was quite nice and from 'Nissin' somemore!! We had baked beans and canned sardines to go along, and it was quite a unique meal!

Due to jetlag, we slept for a few hours from 5 to 11pm (US time). And now we are awake, me blogging and bub playing DOTA besides me (thanks to Jiali's clever suggestion to bring an extension plug here).

Alrighty, that's my adventure for today, or two days in fact. Better bathe and get to sleep! It's 1.15am here already!!
