It wasn’t the worst trek, I suppose, and it could have been worse, but it certainly was the longest consecutive airplane/airport combination either of us have ever taken. From the time we left Asheville on the 22nd to when we arrived at our hotel was a total of 45 hours. Charlotte to Chicago was a quick, uneventful flight that we both slept through. Chicago to Hong Kong was the longest single leg of our whole trip (16 hours!) and was filled with confusion (Taylor lost her phone to the deep dark recesses of the overhead bin for a bit), sleep, and a few movies. Hong Kong to Singapore was fairly uneventful and the 3.5 hours felt incredibly short, and we fit in another movie before landing. We then spent another 7.5 hours in the Singapore airport (thank goodness for the availability of sleep space and showers). Before taking the wonderful amazing 5-hour flight on Singapore Airlines to Perth. Seriously. I’ve never felt more pampered on an airplane. Even the food was good. But they had freshly squeezed orange juice, knew our names, and opened the lavatory door!
And now we’re here!
