Flying Tips

Hi!,

My teenage son and I just came back from Hong Kong (see picture below), my hometown, this past summer. It was the first time after over 10 years not seeing my family.

Being a foodie, of course, going back home reminded me how much I enjoy all the foods and varieties over there.

As always, there are always some new adventures and experiences that we enjoyed and learned. Even though everything I am going to share with you this month may not be all food related, I hope it gives you plenty of great flying tips for future adventures.

Most American in up north prefer to take a trip to down south during spring. You most likely start to plan on this trip soon. So, it's a perfect time to gather all this info to get yourself ready for a smooth, stress-free travel.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tip/Idea

Prep for No Internet Connection

As much as technology allows you to do a lot of things on the road or in the sea/air, you may want to stay away from your cell phone or computer during the trip so that you can totally immerse into the fun.

However, when it comes to dealing with airlines or any travel agencies, they heavily rely on technology. It is good and bad.

What made me to say that? If you are not technology savvy, it could be very difficult, especially when you are stuck in the airport and the staff just ask you to go on to their app to take care of business because they can't help you.

What if there is no internet? Been there, done that, too. (While I was writing this newsletter, there was a major server outage at Amazon's AWS. It disrupted many, many websites. What if a website that you heavily rely on for the trip happened to be in that same situation?) So, my strategy is always printing out the most important things, such as boarding passes and air plane tickets.

For travel involving big airport with connecting flights, I highly recommend you to print out the airport map. My last travel to Hong Kong a few months back fell into this situation.

I knew that we had a connecting flight in a big airport. So, I looked up online with the info from AI, airline and the airport websites. All provided me 3 scenarios so that I could calculate the time in between. Little did I expect that when I arrived the connecting airport, I was presented with the 4th scenario. And the internet in the airplane was horrible. I was thankful that I printed out the map that we could ask the questions of the steward with that print-out before landing.

Fun Culture

Foodie Haven

When you travel in any renowned big city, expect that you are going to eat 24/7. It may sound a bit exaggerated. But my husband has been saying that my family and I are “professional eaters.” It is very common over there.

You most probably think that you are going to gain a ton of weight. Don’t worry! You are going to walk it off. There is plenty of walking when you are in a big city. A perfect example is New York City.

Featuring Recipe

Spaghetti Sauce Rice

When you go to the city, like Hong Kong, you will be amazed of their creativity with food. It doesn't matter if the ingredients and/or culture came from different countries, they can combine a few of them and make a new dish beyond of your imagination. It always packs with plenty of WOW factors.

This dish is one of many created many, many years ago. You can get this dish anywhere in Hong Kong. You may not be able to fly over there in the next moment. But you sure can make this at home and get excited for the next trip.
