On our way at San Francisco International Airport
It is a grey day taxiing out to take off
Sayonara West Coast USA
The seats on the ANA 777 are massive, the most room on any business class I've flown on
It is very rare for me to have a great window view from my airplane window. But this seat configuration had me facing backwards looking toward the wing and engine. It was a very clear day once we got over the clouds and the view was quite nice
I chose the Japanese menu, this being a Japanese carrier
This was just the first course
After arriving Kuala Lumpur and staying overnight, it was on to Medan though of course in what seems to be the way things are, the name of the airport (Kuala Namu) is what shows up so you have no idea as a clueless Westerner whether you're going to the right place or not
We were flying Malaysia Airlines, which is on a different alliance than the one I have status. So we were just regular peasants in Economy Class. Wife saw that we were not boarding until Group 5. She told me I should be sure no one was taking pictures of me as the shame of de-I flying without status could not be made public
We were picked up by the Dowager Empress of Pulandia herself, Pu Lee Shah (aka Daughter #2)
We were quite wiped out but had a nice meal with the family.
From left to right clockwise - Venerable Pu, Consort 2B (looking like he is ready for de-I to leave already), 2.1, 2.4, and Wife
They had local Indonesian food brought in. The food here is REALLY spicy. Is difficult even for we who are used to NM chile to take
The soup is called Soup Medan and is a local specialty with each place or person making it, doing it slightly different. The vegetable (Morning Glory) on the left of the plate and meat (Beef Rendang) on the right were super spicy. Being so tired, I really didn't have much appetite
I forced myself to stay up until around 10pm and then crashed
