He he! I understand the travel thing. I've been in Calgary for two years now, and I'm dying to go somewhere. Hmmmm....*ponders next destination*
Going from Calgary to SE Asia is a very long trip. My typical routes have taken me from Calgary to LA (about a 2-2.5 hour flight), LA to Singapore/Hong Kong/Taipei/Tokyo (flight times on average are about 14 hours), and then one of those destinations to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia or Bangkok (flight times on average are about 7 hours). Typically the whole ordeal, including layovers, takes a little over 30 hours. I'm a big guy, so sitting in economy is a royal PITA. So is getting stuck in the smoking section on a 14-hour trip to Tokyo (that was when they still HAD smoking sections!) Definitely, however, worth the long trip.

Two years? Welcome!!
 I've lived in Calgary my whole life.Yeah, I'm sure it's worth the trip, but only for me, who's basically jonesing for going somewhere. My son, on the other hand, I guess a 30 hour trip would be essentially torture to him (and consequently anyone unlucky enough to be seated near us  ). I'm off to Ottawa for a friends' wedding this weekend (yay Aeroplan .. I guess I had to use those points on something or lose them, and there wasn't enough to go anywhere actually worth going to otherwise, so this is it), that will be interesting to see how it goes. Mind you he did fantastic on our trip to Hawaii last year (slept pretty much 95% of the way there, night flights are good for something!!) so .. maybe I'll make him a seasoned pro at this thing yet.Well .. of course there's the whole "how exactly do I pay for it" thing. Oh right, never mind, I'm in Calgary, we're all millionaires here living high off the hog because we all have our own oilrig companies. I forgot. Where did I put my Stetson!!!

The only Asian destination I have been to thus far is Japan. I went from Calgary to Vancouver then ~11 hours from VCR to Tokyo. It was a little shorter coming back around 9 hours from Tokyo to VCR but that was still hellish and I was even in first class. :O

If you are planning to go there you should check out Oasis airlines, they are a new budget airline with low fares from Vancouver to Hong Kong $299 each way and I think they fly elsewhere in Asia too I am not sure.

I'm sadly joking bigtime. Plus, this has been a pretty pointless post.
