Day 2: And miles to go before I sleep

And miles to go before I sleep

Yes all the way. A crazy 22 hours flying between Amsterdam and Sydney. Cathay Pacific did all the work. I’m posting this from 35,000 feet somewhere over Darwin. M is fully knocked out and I’m jealous 😭 I’ve been trying to fall asleep for ages but my brain said “absolutely not.”

This is the HK → Sydney leg now. The first flight (Amsterdam → HK) was great — food slapped, service was great, super smooth vibes all around. Then there was the chaos of sprinting through Hong Kong to make the connection… minor airport cardio moment 💀 but we made it, so we move.

This flight though? Barely any rest. Turbulence has been doing the most. Food and crew are still solid, but it’s kinda hard to enjoy your meal when the plane is getting tossed around over the Timor Sea like we’re in a washing machine 🌊✈️

About 3ish hours till we land in Sydney. Honestly? Cannot wait. 🙌
