Day 0.
Arriving at Terminal 1 at Dubai Airport to check in for the afternoon Cathay Pacifc flight to Hong Kong.

Day 1: Flying Dragonair (KA) from Hong Kong to Hanoi (HKG-HAN), then after a 9 hour layover flying Lao Airlines (QV) from Hanoi to Luang Prabang (HAN-LPQ).
Day 3: Flying Lao Airlines (QV) from Luang Prabang to Vientiane (LPQ-VTE).
Day 4: Flying Lao Airlines (QV) from Vientiane to Hanoi and then Vietnam Airlines (VN) to Da Nang (VTE-HAN-DAD).
Day 9: Flying Dragonair (KA) from Da Nang to Hong Kong(HKG-HAN), and then after a 13 hour layover flying Cathay Pacific (CX) from Dubai to Hong Kong (DXB-HKG).
Rianda filling out some of the pre-trip paperwork (two visa applications and a diving waiver) and getting a snack at an air-side café.
Boarding the CX A330. It had just arrived from Bahrain on a fifth freedom flight so was already half full of passengers. An eager passenger from BAH had already taken my seat but after a polite check of his boarding pass by the FA we were able to get him to move to his assigned proper seat.
Beef and Rice for dinner.
And a light breakfast just prior to our descent into Hong Kong International Airport.
