Photo of the Day!

Published on by Yinglan

At last, I’m home. 

This is a view of Salt Lake City up high. The trip took approximately 17 hours – first from Hong Kong to Seattle and then from Seattle to Salt Lake City. The first part of the flight was rough. We were hit by a possible storm which caused the plane to sway left and right and rock up and down. After trying to relax as my stomach churned, I was hit by wave after wave of vomit. I was too slow to snatch the sick bag that I vomited on half of my backpack. Yuck!

Then I made my way to the restroom like a drunkard due to the rocking plane as another wave of vomit washed over me. Eventually, the vomit stopped and I was left with practically an empty stomach. Fortunately, it was snack time.

Shortly after breakfast, the captain announced the plane was prepared to land. I have made it to Seattle. I then got through customs and all the paper work to my connecting flight. The flight to Salt Lake was fast. I felt like I barely slept when the captain announced the plane will be landing. Already? I thought and after checking the flight tracker, I realized nearly 90 minutes had gone by. Finally, I was home.

By the way, my post this week may be a little erratic as I’m trying to get back in sync with the time difference. Please bare with me. Thank you.

  3. Welcome back, and good luck with the jet-lag. For whatever reason, this direction always seems to be the worst.

    Sorry to hear about the rough flight. Dramamine works for me (with the benefit that it will also put me to sleep).

    1. Thank you. Fortunately, I’m not experiencing jet lag. I’m not even suffering from the time difference which it’s awesome. It’s almost like I just came home from work or something.
      That flight was rough and I was incredibly surprised because I rarely vomit and so it must had been bad.

      1. I’m very impressed about the jet-lag! I can go the other direction and just do one long night’s sleep, and be pretty much fine the next day. But I came back-in-time by 16-hours on the 14th. Four days later, and I’m just starting to feel sort of normal.

        Been on a couple of trans-Pacific bouncers where things fly around the cabin, and a pretty wild turboprop flight out of Vancouver once. Also done some rough hydrofoil-ferry trips between Japan and Korea (last time was in a typhoon) — So I understand. Why I always carry the Dramamine.
