Wheels Down in Hong Kong

So, I caught the 7 PM bus to Boston and got to Logan about 8 PM. That gave me about 4 hours to kill before boarding. Luckily, since I was flying Business Class, I had access to their lounge, a first for me. They have a buffet and pretty much all the booze you can drink. I took it pretty easy, as I didn’t want to be drunk and obstreperous on the flight and get us diverted to Hawaii. The airplane is huge; the line was long enough for about 3 normal planes. In business class, they put you in a small cubby with a big screen and a seat that lays down flat, with a pillow and blanket provided. I stayed up till about 3 AM, then hit the sack. It was reasonably comfortable, although there was some guy about 2 rows up who is a champion snorer. I considered suggesting he get a sleep study for what I think is a galloping case of apnea, but thought better of it.

I am really disoriented now. My watch says it’s 14:30 (2:30 PM), but at the moment I have no idea what time it is where I am. We are about 2 hours out from Hong Kong, where I have a 2 hour layover and another high-class lounge. Then off to Osaka. Then I have to figure out how to get from the airport to Oaska and then to my hotel. I hope I don’t end up in Hokkido.
