My flight from LAX arrived in Terminal A in Newark. JetBlue also uses Terminal A, but in a different section of the terminal. My flight was delayed by over an hour and so I ended up with about 3 hours to kill, so I took the airtrain to terminal B to find a lounge I could access. I found one and sat there for at least an hour. My plane to Boston was an E190, which was a new type on JetBlue for me. They don't usually fly those planes on the west coast.<br />

I spent a quick weekend in Boston, which I had never been to before, and I loved it. I had amazing food and even did a duck tour. I ate dinner one table over from the football player, Troy Aikman. I also saw and VP Joe Biden walk into my friend's hotel. My flight back home left pretty late so I had almost a whole day on my last day in Boston. I wasn't in the exit row this time but I was closer to the front in Premium Class. The best thing was that the seat next to me stayed open and it was so nice.<br />

I had a bunch of Alaska Airlines credit and decided to use it to visit family in the Sacramento area. The only nonstop to Sacramento from Southern California on Alaska was out of San Diego, so I booked it. San Diego has a lounge called Airspace Lounge that I had access to and they give you a $10 credit to items on their menu. They also have snacks and drinks for self service. </div>

This is Part 7, the last part of my most recent trip to Japan and Thailand. Our flight back home left Bangkok at 8:00am to Tokyo Narita on Japan Airlines, and then connected to American Airlines back to LAX. Since we had to be at the airport at 6:00am to check in, we had to leave the hotel at 5:30a, which meant we had to wake up before 5:00am. The Waldorf knew this and arranged to have a box breakfast sent up to us at 5:00am. It was a huge breakfast actually with fruit, croissant, muffin, sandwich, juice, water, and coffee. It was amazing. The same hotel car took us back to the airport. This time it was a much shorter ride so early in the morning. Japan Airlines has their own lounge at Bangkok airport and I had a bowl of curry and stocked up on some snacks. </div>

Even though this was an early flight, breakfast was not served. It was a regular lunch/dinner type of meal service for this 6 hour flight to Tokyo. Again, I ordered the Japanese meal for my last meal on the Japanese airline.<br />

Since our flight was a domestic flight only, we didn't have to get to the airport that early. The Thai Royal Silk Lounge was being renovated so they had a temporary one set up, which was way too small. We were on a 777-200ER for the short flight and it was very comfortable. This was an international configuration for the business class, but still had their old business class seats. </div>

Of course we arrived at a bus gate. I knew my luck wouldn't last. I do like taking the stairs to and from a plane but not at Bangkok because the buses take forever to load and to get to the terminal.<br />

After arriving our bags took a while to get to baggage claim. We booked our airport transportation through the Waldorf=Astoria hotel. It was quite the luxurious experience in our Mercedes Benz S500 AMG. I've never been in a car so nice. I felt like a celebrity.<br />

When we arrived at the hotel after about almost an hour in the car, we were whisked directly up the elevators to our room and checked in there. The service was top notch. Every single thing about the hotel was perfect and so nice.<br />

The Waldorf was so nice that we didn't even want to leave the hotel. We had dinner at the Brasserie in the upper lobby. It was such a great and memorable meal and definitely one of the best French meals I've ever had.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">We arrived at the Naka Island resort by speedboat from the Ao Po Marina. It was about a 10 minute boat ride. A golf cart met us at the boat and took right to our villa. We were in Villa 48, which is the last one way at the end of the resort, next to Z Bar. We arrive at night so the outdoor pictures didn't really turn out. </span></div>

We couldn't truly appreciate the grounds of the resort until the next morning. We went to Tonsai where breakfast is served and it wasn't crowded at all. The buffet was great and they had all kinds of different food including eastern and western dishes, pastries, fruit, cereal, smoothies, and a pancake and waffle station. One of the employees said that the resort was around 10% capacity, but I think it was a little more than that. The resort did feel very empty though, which was nice.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The resort feels like a private island. There are all kinds of activities and some are free and some have costs. They have the list of things in the room. They also provide a ferry schedule to the pier, but we never felt like we needed to leave. The hardest thing we had to decide was what to drink at happy hour.<br />

We were there for 4 nights but since we arrived at night the first night, we were only there for 3 dinners. We saved the nicer restaurant, My Grill, for our last night. The restaurants are right next to each other and they have different vibes. My Grill was grilled meats and seafood, while Tonsai was Thai and other types of dishes. </div>

Our flight left the Tokyo Haneda airport early around 8am. We took a taxi from the Conrad and it only took about 20 minutes if that. Our flight left the domestic terminal because we had to connect in Nagoya first. But we had to use a special "international connections" check-in desk and it was so incredibly slow. Most of the people in the line were going to Bangkok just like us. There was no business class line or anything separate. It was a joke and it was a good thing we arrived a little early. </div>

We had about a 1:15 layover in Nagoya. We headed straight to the Sakura Lounge and I was able to get some real food for breakfast. They had curry and I was so happy. The lounge had great views of the international gates. Our 787-8 to Bangkok was sitting right out front. The business class seats were arranged 2x2x2 and they were actually very comfortable for a 5.5 hour flight.<br />

<br />At Haneda, JAL was not able to tag our bags all the way to Phuket, so we had to collect our bags in Bangkok. Then we had to walk back upstairs and check in at the domestic area. I planned for this in case JAL couldn't or wouldn't check our bags all the way, so we had several hours before our flight to Phuket. We went to the domestic Royal Silk Lounge and had some food. I wasn't too thrilled about being on yet another Thai Airways A330-300, but at least we weren't at a bus gate. We were 2 for 2 for actual gates and not bus gates at BKK. That's never happened to me before. Then I walked on the plane to a very pleasant surprise. A brand new business class seat and configuration that I've never seen before was on this plane. We had seats in the center section and the seats are really neat. They are a staggered 1x2x1 followed by 1x2x2. It's kind of odd, but so much better than their really old A330 seats. </div>

The seats were very comfortable for a flight that was just over an hour long. They had a complete meal service, with no choice of entree. It was actually quite tasty and that was our dinner that day. The dessert was this delicious rambutans on a coconut milk ice cream. They even had coffee and tea after the meal. All this on a flight that was just over an hour long. </div>

After a few days in Kyoto it was time to head to Tokyo. We took the Nozomi Shinkansen, which has the shortest duration because it makes only 3 stops between Kyoto and Tokyo. Other Shinkansen trains make more stops which takes longer. The Nozomi only took like 2 hrs and 15 minutes to get to Tokyo. We also booked green car seats, which are like business class seats. The extra space is worth it. The cars are located in the center of the train, which makes them easily accessible at the stations with very short walks. </div>

The Conrad is interesting in that it is located on the top 10 floors of an office building. I think there are many other hotels in Tokyo that are set up like this. There is a valet area at the ground floor and elevators that take you up to the lobby on something like the 28th floor. Once you are there it feels just like a regular hotel except that the views from the lobby are nice. We were given an executive floor room on the top floor, 37. The room is so modern and nice and is probably the nicest room of any of the Conrads I've been to, certainly of the urban locations. It was also one of the most spacious regular category rooms I've been to in Japan. </div>

After we relaxed a bit, we walked to Ginza which is a healthy walk, but totally doable. It's a probably 2km if that. In the summer muggy heat, it felt worse than it was. We headed to the 12 story Uniqlo to go shopping. That's the only store we went to in Ginza. We went across the street to the department store, Ginza 6, and had dinner in the food court. You can choose from about 6 or 7 different restaurants' menus, which is convenient if everyone you are with doesn't want the same type of food. <div>

The next day we went to the Odaiba area to go to teamLab Planets, which is an immersive digital art experience. You have to buy tickets for a certain time. We went just after they opened around 10am. It was already really hot and you have to wait under a tent. Thankfully we didn't wait long. You have to take your shoes off and put them in a locker because there are 2 different times where you walk through water. </div>

Before this trip I had been to Kyoto just as a day trip from Osaka, so I was very excited to be returning. I liked Kyoto before and I absolutely love it now. We stayed at the Suiran, which is a Luxury Collection hotel in the Marriott family. This is a boutique hotel that only had about 39 rooms. It's small and feels very private. They offer a complimentary taxi transfer from Kyoto Station and we arranged this through email. The hotel is about a 25 minutes drive from the station. We arrived after 9pm and everything was quiet. The entire time we were there we never saw or heard another soul on our floor.</div>

We flew out on JL69 from LAX to KIX (Osaka) on a Saturday. The flight is scheduled for 2:30p, but around 7am, I received an email from Japan airlines saying that the flight would be over an hour late. The incoming flight wasn't going to land until about 1:30p. We were at LAX by 12:30p anyway and at check-in they warned us about the delay. We had plenty of time at the One World Lounge, which is a very dark and very large space. There are lots of different areas in the lounge. They had a buffet with salads, soup, hot food, and desserts. One thing I don't like about all the lounges at the TBIT at LAX is that there's no view at all.</div>

About 15 minutes before boarding time, we walked to the gate, which was a bus gate. This part of the terminal feels so depressing and degrading. There were tons of people there waiting for flights to all over the world. </div>

As we approached the remote gates, I got a great view of our 787-900. Japan Airlines has a sub-fleet of these 787s with only half the number of business class seats. I think there are 28 seats. They use these mainly on this route, Hawaii, and some east Asian and Southeast Asian cities. </div>

Once we landed we quickly got through immigration and our bags were among the first ones out. We walked to the Kansai Airport train station to catch the Haruka airport express to Kyoto. It's a direct train that takes about 70 minutes from the airport. I was very surprised to be on a Hello Kitty train. There are 3 different Hello Kitty train designs and this one is called Kanzashi, which are hair ornaments and combs. </div>

I wanted to spend a long weekend in Santa Fe, NM and luckily Alaska flies to Albuquerque nonstop from Orange County airport. The flight is operated by Horizon on an Embraer 175, which is one of my favorite planes. I was able to upgrade to first class for $50 on the day of departure. Considering that my luggage cost $25 without upgrading, it seemed like a good enough deal. At John Wayne airport, there is no lounge for Alaska, so I had to wait in the regular gate area. The flight ended up being about 45 minutes late, as the plane was coming from San Francisco. Most of these photos are from my instagram story.</div>

We arrived at the Samui airport about 45 minutes after leaving the hotel. The road to the airport feels like you are driving through neighborhoods at times. We checked in a little over an hour in advance.</div>

The check-in area is not near the gates and you actually walk through what feels like a small town with shops and restaurants and it is all outdoors. There is a business class lounge there and it is the only air conditioned space in the airport besides the shops. We weren't flying business class but we have Priority Pass, which worked at this lounge.<br />

Our A319 this time had a name, called Bangkok. Our seats were in the rear of the plane so we entered through the rear door.<br />

This flight was less than an hour and again Bangkok Airways served a full meal with limited drink service. I was happy with my bottle of water since I had a coffee in the lounge.<br />

We actually parked at a real gate in Bangkok, but then in the jetway we were diverted to a bus and not into the terminal. The bus took us to the domestic arrival area. We had to collect our bags here and then go and check in for our Thai Airways flight to Hong Kong. We had a 3 hour layover and plenty of time to do so. Once we collected our bags we went upstairs to the check in area. They were having difficulty getting the computer to print boarding passes and it took a while for them to figure things out. They never did and they actually hand wrote out boarding passes. It was very old school. Once through passport control and security, we headed to one of the many Royal Orchid lounges in Concourse C, where our flight was leaving from. We chose one of the smaller lounges that overlooked the C and D gates. They had a ton of food and lots of drink options.<br />

For the flight to Hong Kong, we actually had a real gate. We were the last gate at the end of the C gates. After doing a little shopping we went to the gate and boarded soon after that. The business class cabin was maybe half full. </div>

The flight left Bangkok at 4:00p and we were supposed to land around 7:45p, but we were slowed down along the way by about an hour. We made a huge loop somewhere over Thailand and then again near Hong Kong. I think this happened because of the afternoon/evening traffic into Hong Kong because there wasn't any weather. I was able to watch all of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" on this flight. When we arrived in Hong Kong we found the Marriott desk in the arrivals hall to get transportation to the Marriott SkyCity hotel, which is adjacent to the airport. They got us a private van to do the 5 minute drive to the hotel. We checked in very quickly and we were only at the hotel for about 13 hours since our next flight left at 1:00p the next afternoon.<br />

There was a meeting of the Lamborghini Club of Hong Kong at the Marriott the morning we left. It was quite a spectacle.<br />

We left the hotel at 10:00a because that was when the shuttle left. We ended up at the airport too early to check in and they weren't checking people in at the Asiana counter. That day we would end up flying from Hong Kong to Seoul to LAX. We had to wait about 20 minutes before they checked us in. Asiana uses other Star Alliance airline lounges in HKG because they don't have their own there. We were told we could use the Singapore Airlines one because it was right next to our gate. The lounge was great but had no windows, so it felt like we were in a casino where you couldn't tell time.<br />

I was feeling adventurous since we were on the way home and I had never flown on a Korean Airline before. So I ordered the Korean meal, which consisted of things I have never had before and/or never heard of before.<br />

I watched "Cars 3" on this flight. We landed in the early evening at Incheon. The airport is gigantic with tons of cargo planes and a brand new Terminal 2, which recently opened. We parked at the gate at the very end of the terminal.<br />

You have to clear security when connecting to an international flight, just like in Tokyo and Taipei. We had a great view of this A350-900 and it actually turned out to be our plane to LAX.<br />

We had a 3 hour layover so we had plenty of time to explore the airport, which only has high end shopping, duty free, and cosmetic stores. It was very strange. There weren't any souvenir shops or anything that you would expect in an airport. So we went to the Asiana business class lounge, which was completely overrun. There was almost no open seats at all. Also the entire airport was very warm. We didn't stay long and found another lounge that took Priority Pass. All lounges were full and had lines formed outside them. It was ridiculous. I had never seen this happen at any airport before.<br />

The flight was bumpy the whole time and the seatbelt sign and announcement kept going off and on, which made it difficult to stay asleep. About 2.5 hours before landing they turned the lights on and began serving another meal. We were to land around 3:30p, so this meal was like a lunch.<br />

We landed at LAX around 3:30p. It took a while for us to get to our gate, but we were through immigration very quickly. Our bags came out soon after and we were out of the terminal in no time. We were home.<br />

We were leaving Luang Prabang at 12:15p. So we left the hotel around 10:00a. We flew Bangkok Airways, which had a really small lounge for all of its passengers and we were in it for about 5 minutes before they called the flight. We spent some time buying stuff in the terminal even though it must've been one of the smallest terminals I've ever been to with international service. The terminal in general was barely air conditioned and it was very warm. </div>

We were able to walk out to our plane, which wasn't particularly close. I've definitely been to airports in Southeast Asia where they would put you on a bus for a 100ft walk. Our ATR 72-600 was waiting without the air conditioning on, which was horrible. The plane didn't cool down until we took off. </div>

The meal was pretty good and included in the airfare. That's the neat thing about Bangkok Airways--they feed you a full meal on every flight regardless of the length. They only cut back on the beverage service on short flights by limiting your choices. The flight was great and we landed a little early in Bangkok. Since we were on a prop plane I knew we were going to be bussed to the terminal and we were.<br />

The Samui airport is really cute. It's all open air, which is good and bad. But the cool thing is that there are trams that take you to and from your plane because they park far away. Instead of using large buses, this small airport uses little open air trams between the terminal and the planes. We booked a car to take us to the Conrad which is in a remote part of the island and it takes about 45 minutes by car from the airport. We had a Mercedes E250 and they had cold towels and snacks for the ride to the hotel. We arrived around 5pm and didn't get to the hotel until around 6p.<br />

The hotel is located on a cliff and you drive all the way to the top of the hill and the arrival lobby and "front desk" are located at the top. The view from there is incredible. Then the rest of the resort goes down. There are tons of golf carts that they call buggies to take you where you need to go. Our room was on the 200 level, which is the 2nd row from the bottom/beach. It's a great level to be on because the main restaurant, called Zest, is on the same level and the pool is one level down. There are no steps, but many of the walk ways, which are also the roadways for the buggies, are very steep. In the heat and humidity, walking uphill can be a real chore. By the time we got to our room, it had been turned down and they leave a small treat on the bed along with any note or necessary information.<br />

No matter the time of day, this view never got old. Our room, 217, was pretty far down away from other villas and was very quiet. They said that the hotel was at capacity, which means 80 or so villas were occupied, but it never felt that way. We never saw any other person walking down our pathway. We only ever saw people at the restaurants during meal times.<br />

On our last full day here, we took the complimentary beach excursion provided by the hotel. They do this so that guests can have a true beach experience since their beach is not the greatest. The boat only holds 10 guests, so you have to sign up ahead of time. They do this 2-hour trip 3 times per day. We were on the first one at 10am. They picked us up from our villa and brought us to the main lobby at the top of the hill. Then we all piled into a van to the pier a few minutes away. Then we all piled into the speed boat and headed to a reef to the east of the the island. There were a bunch of other boats letting their guests snorkel. They dropped the anchor and we were able to snorkel for about 25 minutes.</div>

After snorkeling we went on to another island, called Koh Madsum. There were beach beds, umbrellas, and kayaks along the beach to hang out on for about 45 minutes. There was a small restaurant and cafe on the island too.<br />

There's also pigs on the island. Apparently they aren't wild or local to the island. They were brought there and the people who run the restaurant take care of the pigs. No one lives on the island and its just a day trip place.<br />

We saved the nicest restaurant at the Conrad, Jahn, for our last dinner. They have 2 different tasting menus along with a regular menu. I chose the Tasting of Jahn menu. According to one of the hotel managers, Jahn is always rated as the best restaurant on Samui and one of the best in all of Thailand. We loved it and the 8 course meal was amazing. </div>

Our last breakfast on the island was kind of depressing, but still good. I guess you could say it was bittersweet. We were leaving the hotel around 9:30a to catch our flight to Bangkok at 11:45a. Since the hotel is about 45 minutes from the airport, we had to leave early. One of the managers bid us farewell upon check out and they gave us some departing gifts of local sweets and a Conrad sea turtle. We had the hotel car take us back and this time it was a Mercedes S300. It was huge and super luxurious and a great way to send us off on our way back home.<br />

After spending some time at the Silverkris Business Class Lounge, we walked around some of the shops and down to our gate in Terminal 2. Our gate turned out to be a bus gate, where we were taken way down toward Terminal 4 where our A320 was waiting and parked next to a brand new Singapore Airlines 787-10.<br />

The cabin itself felt very dated. The service was attentive, but the food was sort of lacking. It was similar to domestic first class food. There was a choice of 2 main entrees and a printed menu wasn't handed out. The flight attendant had one that she individually showed everyone and took their orders.<br />

I ended up watching "The Greatest Showman" on their ipad and I only had like 10 minutes left before they disabled them. I didn't start the movie in time even though the flight was right at 3 hours. We landed in the valley where Luang Prabang is located and there's a single runway with no taxiway, so you land and then turn around on the runway to head back to the terminal. The terminal at LPQ has just 2 jetways. We parked at one of them.<br />

This flight continues on to Vientianne, which is the capital of Laos. So only the people staying in Luang Prabang got off of the plane. We were the first people off the plane and actually there were very few passengers staying in Luang Prabang. I think there might have been only about 15 of us. We had to get visas on arrival and the process was so slow, but we were first in line. Right after immigration there was a rep from our hotel, the Amantaka, waiting for us to help with luggage. Once the bags came out we were whisked away to a minivan where cold towels and water were waiting for us. The hotel was only about 15 minutes away and we were in town in no time. We were greeted by several hotel employees including the general manager. We were given an orientation and tour, then shown to our room which was right at the back of the hotel. It's a really long walk through all the grounds and it is so peaceful. We were upgraded to a pool suite, which was huge and had its own private pool.<br />

The Amantaka is nothing short of perfection. It's a secluded oasis amongst a quiet little UNESCO-protected town. There are tons of staff, but you rarely see them. They somehow clean your room and you never see them coming or going. They make you feel like a celebrity and I feel like I might be becoming an Aman-junkie, having stayed at a few of them now. They provided afternoon tea in their library and 2 meals per day were included in our room. We also booked a package called "Majestic Mekong," which included excursions and things every day. On our arrival day, we just went to the spa for an hour-long massage and they have private steam, sauna, and jacuzzi for guests. We had afternoon tea in the library, and had dinner in the main restaurant. You can have your meals wherever you want them actually, but I liked eating in the fresh evening air of the open-air main restaurant. This is low season for Luang Prabang, so there were only a few other guests at the property. Still being a little jetlagged, we went to bed early and slept for a really long time.<br />
<br />
The next morning we had breakfast at the restaurant, which is a la carte, but you can order as much as you want. We had a city tour booked at 9am for half the day. Our guide met us at the hotel and the hotel tuk tuk drove us around. It was a seamless process. The guide was an independent freelance guide, who was amazing. He spoke perfect English and told us stories about his family and how his grandfather was a CIA informant during the Vietnam War. He was fascinating. It turned out that he was also Anthony Bourdain's guide when he visited Luang Prabang. Unfortunately I cannot remember his name and I wish I would've got his card. He took us to the former royal palace, temples, and all the sites.<br />

We found a really neat little cafe about 2 blocks away from the hotel. The one thing that you can count on in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, is you can always find a great cafe serving wonderful pastries and coffee. The town itself is full of little ally ways and small streets. There's a night market a few blocks from the hotel and the whole street completely transforms.<br />

The next morning we took a drive to Kuang Si Waterfalls. This is one of THE things to do/see in Luang Prabang. It's about a 45 minute drive. Our driver and van were from the hotel and he brought with us some cold water and a bag to hold our stuff if we wanted to swim. Once you arrive at the parking area, there are a bunch of stalls selling food and souvenirs. It felt very touristy. We entered the park and on the way is a bear sanctuary, which is for Asiatic Black bears. These bears in the wild are exploited for their bile, which some people in Asia think is some sort of health thing. So this sanctuary was created to save the bears from torture. </div>

The waterfall itself is in several pool sections. Each one gets more and more beautiful as you walk up the trail. The water is very cold and while you can swim in it, it was too cold for me. The water is really clear and there are fish in it too. The really small ones will bite your feet like those fish spas in Asia.</div>

The great thing about going to the falls so early was that it wasn't hot yet and there weren't a lot of tourists yet too. The experience would have been totally different had there been tons of tourists. At one point we were the only people around and it was awesome. Later that evening we had a Mekong River cruise. We had this huge traditional long boat all to ourselves with local snacks and drinks. There was the driver of the boat and we had a cabin attendant to serve us. It was crazy to have all of this to ourselves. The cruise was timed with sunset which was around 6:30p. I think we left the dock around 4:45p and went slowly up stream for about an hour. We passed lots of local people doing things in the river like swimming, fishing, dancing, etc. We passed some water buffalo and some goats. Then we turned around and they cut the engines and we just drifted down stream for a long while. It was so peaceful and tranquil. Luang Prabang is in a valley so you don't really see the sun set on the horizon as it goes behind the nearby mountains, but it was still amazing.<br />

The weather turned almost by the time we got back to the area where we left. I wouldn't really call it a dock, more like a landing. Anyway, it got really windy and cloudy and almost kind of dangerous to be near other boats. It looked like it was challenging for the driver to get the boat back to the landing since there were like 4 other boats using the same area. It was a really fun experience and I highly recommend doing this. It looked like there were lots of other boats around doing the same kind of thing, but I don't think many of them were private.<br />

On our last morning in Luang Prabang, we woke up very early at 5:00a to do alms-giving on the street in front of the hotel. Alms-giving is a sunrise ceremony that many locals do where they give food or whatever they can to the monks who live in nearby temples. They walk around town and people give mostly rice to the monks in these basket/bowl things. We had a hotel employee explain everything and show us what to do and did the alms-giving with us. The hotel cooked sticky rice for us to hand out. So you scoop out a small handful of rice and put in their bowl. There were 3 different groups of monks, which means they came from 3 different temples. The groups come in waves and it is all over within 20 or so minutes. All of this happens in silence and it is so solemn and special. The last group will do a blessing for you if you ask and we asked our guide to ask for the blessing. They do a blessing chant and it was such an incredible experience. Afterwards we took this picture of the last group walking away. This is something I will never forget.</div>

This was the first and longest leg of my recent trip to Southeast Asia. This trip would take me to many cities and airports, but I would set foot in Singapore, Luang Prabang (Laos), Koh Samui (Thailand), and Hong Kong. Singapore and Hong Kong would end up being long layovers. </div>

I flew SQ12 from LAX to SIN via NRT. After the 11 hour flight to Tokyo, there is a scheduled 1.5 hour layover, and then another 7 hours to Singapore. The flight leaves LAX at 10am. We arrived just before 8am and the Bradley terminal wasn't very crowded. We checked right in and were through security in minutes. That was a first for me, as security has always been a zoo when I've traveled through there. We went to the Star Alliance Lounge to wait for our flight and there was barely anyone there too. I think our flight might be one of the earliest Star Alliance ones in the day.<br />

That seat was 14K. I loved it, but I had a ton of space and only 1 window. It was fine though. The seat is massive and so comfortable. There's nothing to see for most of the flight anyway.<br />

Singapore Airlines gives you the option to preorder the main entree of your meal online. This service is called "Book the Cook." I ordered the crab ravioli with lobster sauce. The service on Singapore is flawless and they checked my order with me before we took off.<br />

We were to arrive around 1:30p, which was a little early. I finished watching the last episode of the Start Trek season just as we started descending into Narita.<br />

We parked at a gate at the very end of the ANA part of Terminal 1 that is right by the ANA Lounge, which we visited and were met by a huge model of the ANA R2D2 787. I haven't seen this plane in person even though it appears at LAX every now and then.<br />

Our layover was supposed to be around 1.5 hours, but since we arrived early it was going to be closer to about 2 hours. When it was time to board, we went to the gate but there was no movement and an announcement was made that boarding was going to be delayed. They said to stay in the boarding area and wait for the next announcement. This went on for over an hour. It was bad. Then I saw our plane push back and leave the gate. Then all of the signage was put away. Clearly they weren't boarding us at that gate. I happened to look at a flight info monitor and noticed that our gate was changed to a bus gate. This was all handled so poorly I couldn't believe this was Japan. So we found the new gate ahead of everyone else and found a seat. At this point there was still no new departure time, so this whole time there was no sense in knowing if you had time to go to the restroom or get food or just walk around and get exercise. There were some pretty pissed off people by the time they all arrived at the new gate. So they put us on buses and took us to our plane. They never gave us a new departure time.<br />

By the time we pushed back, it was around 5pm. So we were around 2 hours delayed. They would end up making up some time in the air but the flight time was still over 6.5 hours. On this next leg they serve one meal after take off, which was fine because I ended up falling asleep for most of the rest of the flight. Also the business class cabin was less than half full for this leg.<br />

I watched one movie during the meal service, "Call me by your name." Then I could barely keep my eyes open and slept the rest of the flight. I woke up as they were preparing the cabin for landing. At Singapore Changi airport we parked so far from baggage claim, it seemed to take forever to get there. The immigration process at Singapore has always been super fast and efficient. Tonight it was the opposite. I don't know if the meeting of the 2 dictators had anything to do with it or not, but that meeting happened 2 days prior. It took around 45 minutes to get just through immigration and then another 10 to get our taxi to the Conrad Centennial Singapore hotel. We checked in and went immediately to sleep since it was around 1am at this point.<br />

The next day we had breakfast at Oscar's, which is the lobby restaurant at the Conrad. It's such a wonderful breakfast spread. This would be the only full day we would have in Singapore, so we decided to see stuff we hadn't seen in previous trips to Singapore. After having coffee with a friend temporarily living in Singapore, we headed out to the Marina Bay to see the Gardens by the Bay. They are free to walk around but they do have some indoor areas that require a ticket. We played it by ear since it was raining off and on. We took the MRT (subway) to the Marina Bay Sands and then walked from there to the giant gardens area. It's basically a huge park with lots of people and families hanging out and walking around. The lines to get into the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome were huge, so we passed. I think this was also the Eid holiday and a Friday, so there were tons of people everywhere.<br />

For dinner we went to Chinatown to have the cheapest Michelin star meal in the world. It was at Hawker Chan and they have some great meals for around $5USD. It was so awesome. There is nothing better than really good food that is also cheap. There was a line out the door, but it went by fast. You also have to share tables as space is limited.<br />

By this time jetlag was setting in and we ended up getting one more bite to eat of Xiao Long Bao at the Food Republic at Suntec Center right near our hotel. We packed up and went to bed since we had to get up early to be at the airport by 7:00am. And that was our quick day in Singapore.Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01805182364192843043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434878269805428008.post-82342363567167707232018-06-12T22:27:00.000-07:002018-06-12T22:27:40.498-07:00Misc photos from trips I never posted<br />

When it was time to go home, I too my United flight out of Norfolk, VA. This flight ended up being very delayed, but I had a long layover in Newark, so it was fine.<br />

My flight arrived Newark (EWR) in Terminal A, but my connection was in Terminal C. You take a bus between the terminals so that you don't have to clear security again.<br />

This is the final post of my vacation to Sri Lanka and Maldives. After an amazing time at the Conrad Maldives, it was time to leave. We were given a complimentary extra late check out because our flight leaving Malé wasn't until 10:30p and they didn't have a Trans Maldivian plane leaving the island until 6:00p. So we checked out at 5:00p and left our luggage in the room. It was eventually brought out to the departure platform. We waited in the lobby with the other parties until about 5:45p. The flight back to Malé was 30 minutes and it was the most beautiful and quick 30 minutes ever. An interesting fact is that the resort is an hour ahead of the capital city. They do this so you get an extra hour of daylight at the resort.<br />

The airport is located on Hulhumale island, different from the capital city, Malé. It looked mostly residential with lots of buildings that looked like apartments.<br />

I didn't want to leave the TMA terminal because it meant that everything was ending. Our flight was one of the last ones to arrive at the seaplane terminal and the seaplanes don't fly at night so the entire fleet was parked at the terminal. We were then taken to the Conrad Lounge again where we started our Conrad experience. We were able to eat dinner there and wait until we had to check in for our flight back home. There were about 5 other people waiting too. We were there for about 3 hours. They had showers there too, which we used since our flight was an overnight flight.<br />

The terminal was bustling with many flights coming and going in the late hours of the night. The business class lounge was about full with almost no seats left. It was a common use lounge and many of the airlines use it. Since we had to walk out to the plane again, we got one last opportunity to feel the Maldivian air.<br />

Our flight arrived in Istanbul around 5:00a and the terminal was jam packed. I think many of the redeye flights from Asia and around the world land super early. There were lots of languages being spoken at 5:00a. Our connecting flight to LAX didn't leave until about 1:00p. So with about an 8 hour layover I booked a room at the airport transit hotel. You don't have to leave the terminal or security and you can book rooms in blocks of hours. I booked 6 hours and actually slept for about 4 hours.<br />

The electronics ban was in full effect on this and all flights going to the US from Istanbul. All of the flights to the US were located at the end of the terminal so that they could control for the extra security. They set up a drop off system by destination and everything is taken from you that is larger than a cell phone. They tag each item and give you a baggage claim ticket for each item. Then the items are put into bubblewrap and put in a trunk that this then put in the baggage hold.<br />

The flight was about 13 hours long and we arrived in LA in the late afternoon. We were one of the first people in line to collect our electronics in the baggage claim area and I'm glad we were because the line was gigantic. We didn't wait that long for the electronics and our bags and that was the end of vacation.<br />

This is part 4 devoted to the Conrad Maldives. Getting to the resort by seaplane was definitely a unique flying experience. The Conrad consists of two islands for guests and one for the staff. There is a really long bridge connecting the two islands and in the middle of it is the seaplane arrival and departure platform. Our host greeted us and sat us down in the shade on the platform. There is an indoor lounge for those who want to get out of the heat. The staff brought around cold towels and fruit sorbet that was really refreshing. Our host walked us over to the water villa island to our room. We were in villa 346 which is at the south end of the island. It's the third from the last villa.</div>

Our villa was amazing with unobstructed views and a jacuzzi on the terrace. There are large windows all over and the water is so clear that you can see fish without even going outside. Besides the day we arrived our days consisted of breakfast at Vilu, which was on the same island as our villa. Then get ready for the sun and pack the bag to go to the reef on the other island for snorkeling for a few hours. Then walk back to the villa and clean up. At 4:00p there was afternoon tea at Mandhoo restaurant which was back over by the reef. Then take the ferry boat directly to Vilu for happy hour at 5:00p. Go back to the villa to figure out dinner. Walk to dinner after sunset, because the sunsets from our villa were incredible around 7:30p. Then back to the villa and go to bed. It was the most relaxing time I have ever spent at a resort anywhere. </div>

Here is <a href="https://thejetway.blogspot.com/2017/06/lax-to-taipei-to-hong-kong-on-eva.html" target="_blank">part 1</a> and <a href="https://thejetway.blogspot.com/2017/07/to-sri-lanka-on-thai-airways-hong-kong.html" target="_blank">part 2</a> of my trip.<br />
<br />
This is part 3 from Colombo to the <a href="http://conradhotels3.hilton.com/en/hotels/maldives/conrad-maldives-rangali-island-MLEHICI/index.html" target="_blank">Conrad Maldives</a> with a one-night stop in Malé. At Colombo our Turkish Airlines A330-300 was parked at a remote stand. We could see it from the Araliya Lounge in the main terminal. That lounge was a little sad, but certainly not the worst I've ever been to. They had some hot food and drinks and since it was dinner time, I was hungry and had some food. I knew that our next flight, although was a little over an hour, would have a full dinner. Once we got to the gate we waited a short while to be bused out to the plane. Once on board we found out that there were just a few passengers in business class on this short leg. The plane actually continues from Maldives back to Istanbul and many passengers get on in Malé. An interesting thing was that all economy passengers were seated in the very back section of the plane. I imagine that is to expedite boarding in Malé where the new passengers getting on are assigned to the section closest to the boarding door. All passengers in transit cannot exit the plane. <br />

Arrival in Malé was very interesting. There is no taxiway as the airport is on a sliver of an island. The plane makes a U-turn on the runway and heads back toward the terminal. Planes park right where they turn in off the runway. We soon found out that we were the only 2 passengers getting off the plane. We were escorted by an airport employee all the way back to the terminal. After immigration we waited a few minutes for our 2 bags to come out on the belt. After that we found the representative for the <a href="https://www.hoteljen.com/male/maldives/about/" target="_blank">Hotel Jen</a>, which is where we stayed our first night because we arrived at night. Since seaplanes only fly during the day, we had to wait until the next morning to fly to the Conrad. The Hotel Jen rep took us to a speedboat and within minutes we were in Malé City, which is the smallest capital city in the world. The airport is on a separate island and they are actually building a bridge between the two islands that is supposed to open next year.<br />

Once we arrived back to the airport we were handed off from Hotel Jen to Conrad Maldives Rangali Island staff. They walked us to the Trans Maldivian Airways desk to check in for our flight. Basically all of the their flights behave like charters so there is no scheduled time, but the airline knows what passengers will be on board. Once everyone arrives and the plane arrives, then you go. We were taken in a small van to the other side of the airport where the seaplane terminal is located. We were then taken to the Conrad's own lounge which is very large with food, drinks, and massage. </div>

We waited for about 45 min before we were all taken to the plane. There were about 11 passengers on the 15-seater DCH-6 seaplane. Our flight was 25 minutes to the Angaga resort, where one couple got off the plane. Then it was another 5 minutes to the Conrad. This was an incredible experience and one I will never forget. The views were incredible and the take-offs and landings are just so cool.</div>

<br />
This is part 2 of my trip around the world. The second leg of the journey goes from an overnight at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and evening flights to Bangkok and Colombo. Our layover was about 23 hours, so we stayed the night in Hong Kong. We took the airport express train directly from the airport to Hong Kong Central. From there they have free shuttle buses to various hotels. You have to choose the correct line for your hotel. There wasn't much signage to the Hyatt so it was hard to tell where it was amongst all the other buildings. Arriving at night was difficult to tell what our view was from the 30th floor of the Grand Hyatt.<br />

Then we went to the IFC mall and walked back to the Grand Hyatt along the water, which was a healthy walk in the heat and humidity. There is a ton of construction right near the Hyatt and finding your way back on foot is tricky. We checked out of the hotel at 4:00p thanks to a complimentary late checkout. We took a taxi back to the Airport Express station and we were back at the airport in less than 30 minutes. Since we were taking Thai Airways, their check in is at Terminal 2 at HKIA, which is just a separate check in and not really a separate terminal where jets park. From there an underground people-mover takes you to the main terminal with all the shopping and restaurants. </div>

After a little bit of shopping we made our way down the huge building to the fork in the "Y" shaped terminal. The Thai Airways lounge is located on the upper floor with several other lounges. We were there fairly early for our flight (3 hours ahead) and were the only people there. Within an hour it got really crowded and almost full.<br />

The flight time was only about 2.5 hours and the service and food were pretty good for this relatively short hop of a flight. I started watching "The Great Wall" and had very low hopes for it and it was so horrible that I only got about 30 minutes into it before I had to turn it off. Our flight landed a little early and we had less than 1.5 hour layover. Our plane ended up parking at a remote stand that required that we get on a bus to the terminal, which ate up a lot of time. This is one of the things I can't stand about the Bangkok airport. I think I've been at a bus gate more often than not and where they drop off in the terminal is so far if you have to transfer because they make you go through security again. So we didn't have time to visit one of the many Royal Orchid Lounges at BKK and we went straight to our gate. Once again we were at a bus gate and we were whisked away to the same exact plane that brought us from Hong Kong and into the very same seats too. They had a dinner service even though the flight left at 10:10pm.<br />

The flight from Bangkok to Colombo was just about 3 hours. It actually went by quickly. I watched Rogue One again because I just love Star Wars. When we arrived at Colombo we actually parked at the terminal, which was nice and it was about midnight. We got our bags and found our Hilton driver. The drive to the Hilton was just under 30 min.</div>

Since we were really only had about one full day in Colombo we booked a city tour with <a href="http://tuktuksafarisrilanka.com/" target="_blank">Tuk Tuk Safari</a>. We had seen this company on a travel show on NHK World and thought they were worth it. They picked us up from the Hilton and our guide went through a proposed itinerary. It included many sights and local food places. It was scheduled for 4-5 hours. It was a really fun way to see the city. We ate jackfruit roti, which was incredible, at a local farmers market next to a rugby field. We ate hoppers, which are sort of like a crepe bowl filled with just about anything. They can be eaten any time of day and can even be sweet. We stopped at a mango lassi booth and finished with kottu, which is sort of like a noodle stir fry with all kinds of things in it. We also went to a few markets, temples, and famous sights. It was definitely worth the tour.<br />

We finished the tour with the first place we saw, which looks completely different at night. These 5 colors are all over Sri Lanka on small flags. I never asked anyone about it, but it is from the buddhist flag representing 5 auras. The next day we would leave Colombo and go south to Galle for a few days.</div>

This is part 1 of my second trip around the world. It was really just a trip to Sri Lanka and Maldives in which I just kept flying west. I used miles to get from LAX to Colombo via an overnight in Hong Kong with connections in Taipei and Bangkok for about an hour each. So legs 1 and 2 were LAX to Taipei and Taipei to Hong Kong on EVA Airways in </div>

I had a very quick trip up to Sonoma for just one night. I chose to fly Alaska Airlines because they have non-stops to Santa Rosa from LAX. They have only 1 flight per day to Orange County (SNA) and I couldn't make the flight times work with my schedule. I haven't flown on Alaska in ages and these Santa Rosa flights are actually operated by Horizon Air Q400s, which is an aircraft that I have never flown on before. It turned out to be a very comfortable plane. My flight left around 1:30p.</div>

I was done in Sonoma around 4:00p and was at the STS airport by 4:30p. My flight wouldn't leave until about 6:00p. So I ate dinner at the restaurant at the airport. They didn't let people through security until after 5:30p. There is nothing past security except a waiting room, restrooms, 2 vending machines, and a shadeless patio. It was in the low 90's that day and was too hot to stand outside. </div>
