the 36 hr transit with mc

Post by Gabes-Apg »

all good so far, digestion has been good all week, had no issues taking food and small amt of liquid in my carry on bag. Had letter from doctor stating i had multiple food intolerences, and notation on my itinerary that dietary requirements can not be guarenteed. So that was a big relief. I think i am starting to get excited!

have survived first 12 hours. No actual catering supplied for me on board, they had spare gf meal for supper, i was able to eat the rice, and my corn cakes. If i could eat fruit namely bananas, they had heaps of them. The no fruit is what makes this a bit tricky. They had nothing to offer me for breaky other than fruit. I hope there is something on the next flight, it is 13 hrs.

I am in hong kong, and the treat of the day is that ant has given up his sunday sleep in and is heading out to meet up.

Joe - i am sure that i am going to be living on ricecakes and apple juice for the next 20 hours!

Gabes could not risk the salmon, so it was only rice-cakes and expresso! But, we feed each other ideas, stories and gossip - far more nourishing!!!

Best, Ant

Hi Ant and Gabes, I just love this, this message board, our group and how some of us get out of bed at 5 (I assume) to meet another member at 6 at the airport to feed her :grin: :grin: :grin:

Hi Gabes and Ant, what a fun thread to read! As Joan said, we are all with you in spirit and high hopes that all will go well. You are a brave girl and will inspire us to get out of our comfort zones more often. Best wishes, JoAnn
