So, Im a little late on writing this but I thought Id add it to the blog. So we left Xi An on a flight to Shenzen at 1200 and got to Shenzen at like 1400. Had to wait around the Airport for a few hours (7) to get on a flight at 2300 to Singapore. Well that flight was too scary and usually Im not scared of flying. The airlines was Tiger, a budget airlines, and we were a full load... Well we taxi and taxi and finally we were ready to take off. Well, we get going and going and going and going and finally got off the ground after using more than the whole friggin runway! I was FREAKED!!! Then after climbing for about 2 minutes the pilot decides the airplane can fly without much engine power! I was ready to plummet to the earth at 500 mph!!! Man, I hated that pilot and still do. So we landed after four hours of flight at 0300. The only problem was we had to wait till 1100 to get on the flight to Yokota. No problem, we went in the budget terminal until 0600 and then headed over to Peya Labar (The Royal Singapore Airforce base) and waited another 5 friggin hours where I got about 2 hours of sleep on the floor! LOL! It sucked really bad... So, we got on the flight, of course and were on our way to Japan. On the flight, since it wasnt a cargo flight we got windows, good food, 5 episodes of "Everybody Loves Raymond", some movie that was good but I forgot what its called and some other movie and guess what I fell asleep to that one. The dinner was steak with vegetables, roll, fruit, coke, and cake. Then later on we got more drinks and candy bars. Then they decided we must still be hungry and gave us a "snack". But this was no snack! We got another piece of cake and 8 sandwhiches! I was happy until they told us we had 30 minutes to eat them because we werent allowed to bring them into Japan! I was then sad because I could only eat 4 of the sandwhiches! Oh well. Landed in Yokota and met a few great friends that we met the first time coming through Japan and stayed with them for a few days. Then we took off for Hickam AFB, Hawaii on a C17 that took 9 hours. I got to fly the huge plane for 2 hours! It was great then I went to sleep! LOL! Now we are here in Hawaii and its 0517 and Im waiting to go take a shower and head out with my Aunt that I havent seen in forever. Maybe later we will head to Travis or McChord AFB if there is any flights. Well thats about it for now. Take care and talk with you all soon. Love you all,
