On my way to Thailand a last minute decision to seize an opportunity to assist in a 5 week Sacred Feminine Teacher Training!!!! 5 weeks immersed with the Sacred Feminine doing Qigong, breast massage and jade egg practices!! Yuummm
I bought my ticket online being last minute and not wanting to go in and find a travel agent, even though I prefer working
with a travel agent. It's nice to know someone has my back!!!
I flew from Comox to Vancouver with Air Canada who checked my bag to Hong Kong when I'm actually going to Koh Samui, Thailand. I asked her why? Her response she couldn't check it through......Strange, my spidey senses told me this not good, however this is what she said.
We left Vancouver about 20 min late for our 14 hour flight to Hong Kong. We landed now I have to go through immigration, wait for my bag, and run with my bag to find Bangkok Airways to get my boarding pass. I get there 10 min after they've closed for checking baggage, and I'm now stuck in Hong Kong missing my flight and the ferry to Kon Phangnan my final destination...........My world has now turned upside down, this is why I don't like travelling........I just want to get from A-B
Time for a cappuccino. I need some comfort.
Then I remember I have a roaming package on my phone, I phone the online sight they can't help me, however they give me hope and I go make my way back to the other terminal to talk to Cathay Pacific to see if they will help me. I found them and they wouldn't take any responsibility saying I had enough time, when I clearly didn't, being fit and able bodied I went as fast as I could to make that flight. I just wanted to get to Koh Phangnan!!!
They sent me to Air Canada desk who also wouldn't take responsibility........
So feeling desperate just wanting to get out of Hong Kong I went online and bought myself a ticket with Bangkok Airways to Koh Samui, feeling discouraged from the lack of assistance. I didn't think to buy flight disruption insurance, it all seemed so straight forward to me.........I share this story to laugh at this the shitty moment and remember to feel the moment, let it pass and make the best of exactly where we are.
Now I make the best of my day in the Hong Kong Airport.............
Some downward dog in the Hong Kong Airport
Yay!!! I made it to Koh Samui, Thailand, at last after about 40 hours of travel with all the transfers.......
First thing I did was went swimming, now sleep!!!!!
With Love
