Enroute and in Hong Kong

The long trip gets longer, but hey, upgrades can make all the difference. We discovered that our 'Elite' travel status with Air Canada has real benefits. Dawna's suitcase weighed in at 65 kg which would have meant a $75 surcharge, but as 'Elite' there is no cost and we each could have 4 bags! It gets even better, when we got on the flight from Toronto to Vancouver we were bumped up to Executive class and each had our own sleeping pod. Man was that great!

Sadly, we didn't get that treatment for the second flight, which was 14 hours from Vancouver to Hong Kong. The flight was ok, long but manageable. We are at a very nice hotel and will sleep a bit and head out for the final two flights tomorrow.

We have our traditional first photo taken at Vancouver....we don't know if we get any better at taking our own photo but we have a lot of fun trying.

Oh great. Now you are proving Douglas right with the upgrades. Be careful. It could become a way of life, the demand for upgrades :D
