9/7/2006, after 18 months...










Finally...
NYC here I come.




Bye honey, see you in 10 days!



My last 2 drinks before boarding the plane. (because you know, no liquid with your carry-on) I hope no one makes bombs out of yogurt drinks or they maybe forbidden at the airport as well.








And here's the 747 that would take me back to NYC. The flight was scheduled to depart at 16:25, but the air-condition wasn't working properly, so after boarding the plane, they made us wait till it's fixed. We sat on the ground with no AC, not even air, it was HOT. 30 minutes later, we were ready for take-off. And away we go!







Looking out of the window from seat #12K.

Is this the moon or the sun?

After flying 9 hours we arrived in Anchorage, Alaska for a stop-over. Nothing to see there except the duty-free shops, but it was good to walk around and stretch the legs a bit after sitting for so long. With all the carry-on restrictions, the shop was still selling perfumes and make-ups in liquid form. I asked the shop lady and she told me that after you purchase those items, they'll take it directly to the gate where you re board the plane. Isn't that convenient?

The plane we were flying needed some serious rest, I think. Because after we re-boarded the plane, the AC was out, and once again we had to wait for the ground crew to fix it. After flying another 6-7 hours we were finally in NYC. My luggage came out rather early, I think I might have been one of the first to come out. I waited a little bit for my folks and boy, I was happy to see mom and dad when they came running toward me! It's been too long! So after almost 20 since I left my Taipei home, I'm in New York.
