I am sitting in the Mabuhay Lounge of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. It's just after 6 in the morning here in Manila. I am waiting for my connecting flight to Hong Kong, in about one hour.
It's nice to be off the plane, of course. I like flying, particularly in Business Class. It's nice to stretch out and be able to sleep. The Philippines Air flight was not all that comfy, though. I had a bulkhead seat, so my legs were always up against a wall. But, I guess it was still better than Coach. And where were the handsome Filipino stewards I was expecting? All the crew were matronly women in their 50's. But they did take care of me. "Anything more you need, Mr. Knight?" "If that's not satisfactory, Mr. Knight, please let me know right away." etc.
The next leg of the journey is the short 2 hour flight to Hong Kong. It gets me in at about 10 am, and then I should be checked in to my hotel in Sheung Wan sometime about noon. It will be a day to relax, and acclimate myself to the time difference. The first few days will be spent reviewing flight options to Vietnam and Cambodia, and dealing with some banking and insurance requirements.
So, even though it's super early in the morning here, I still think I should have a drink. It's not morning for me, and this is a lounge.
