This is the second time this month that my boarding gate and seat number are palindromes of each other

I have 24 hours in Hong Kong on the way back home because of how I had to book the flights. I took a short flight from Da Nang to Hong Kong and I have a separate ticket for HKG-SFO-PDX.
I ended up clearing immigration with the bags around 8:45pm, and my flight out is at 8pm tomorrow, so I was able to go up to the checkin counter and get my boarding pass and check the bag in already.
We bought so much stuff that we had to buy a new suitcase in Hoi An. We were pretty rushed packing this morning after picking up the last of the clothing. So in the airport I did some rearranging between the bags.
I moved some of my old cheap clothes and laundry into the new large suitcase to make room to move some of the new custom clothes into my small suitcase. I checked the big suitcase but I should be able to take the small one as carryon. I figure better to spread out the risk instead of checking both bags. Oh and I also had to buy a strap for the new bag because I don’t trust the zippers entirely. Now it’s also easier to spot.
So cross your fingers that in 36 hours I will find the bag in SFO when I clear immigration!
And of course the checked bag has an AirTag in it so I'll be able to keep an eye on it in the mean time.

The building that collapsed from the earthquake was right next to the train station we got off at when we arrived in Bangkok last weekend. We took the train from Chiang Mai to Chatuchak 😮 https://maps.app.goo.gl/YUANzTLHUfCZVi6b7 -
This is somehow worth 90 cents USD

Got the whole row to myself, almost makes me sad the flight is only 50 minutes

Very excited about this business class seat to Seoul! Finally putting my airline miles to use!
-
Commenting on this to remind myself not to book this hotel again. They ran out of hot water at the end of the day, and there was still no hot water by 6am the next morning.

Well this was a first. Got to the airport and realized I was sitting at the gate in so much back pain that I cancelled my flight 10 minutes before boarding and went back home.
The gate agents were confused about why my cancel request was so simple. -
I don't want to speak too soon, but so far I slept a solid 8 hours last night and didn't get tired during the mid morning slump, so I think I may have avoided jet lag entirely this trip! #travel

Perfect weather forecast, I'll feel right at home here this week #dublin

I decided I would appreciate being home at 9:30am instead of 5pm more than I will be annoyed at having to wake up at 4:30am, so I changed my flight home to the early flight. Hope I don't oversleep! #travel

Good morning Chicago!

This hotel room is trying real hard to not be a sad motel on the side of the highway in a San Francisco suburb.
Also, no I am not here for DreamForce, but that is why I am stuck at a hotel out here instead of the $2000/night downtown hotels.

This was my first time traveling with a USB-C iPhone and I definitely forgot that my AirPods still charge with a Lightning cord oops

love waking up to a screen full of notifications that my 6am flight is delayed to 5pm 🤦♂️ -
I'm planning out my travel for the year, and now that Brisbane is scratched, I'm barely going to hit Alaska MVP Gold. And if I buy the annual lounge pass, even with the signup bonus discount, it will work out to about $35 per visit.

I took the high speed train from Miami to Orlando and I am convinced we need more of this! https://aaronparecki.com/2023/12/01/18/riding-brightline-train-miami-orlando

I took the High-Speed Brightline Train from Miami to Orlando with only two hours notice
It was 11am at the Fort Lauderdale airport, an hour after my non-stop flight to Portland was supposed to have boarded. As I had been watching our estimated departure get pushed back in 15 minute increments, I finally received the dreaded news over the loudspeaker - the flight was cancelled entirely. As hordes of people started lining up to rebook their flights with the gate agent, I found a quiet spot in the corner and opened up my laptop to look at my options.continue reading...
