On my way to Cleveland

It was a long way for me to travel from KL to Cleveland, US.

I checked in at KLIA on 2008-09-20 0730 & reached hotel on 2008-09-22 0030. All the way from KLIA -> Hong Kong -> Los Angeles -> Chicago -> Cleveland -> Holiday Inn. 40 hours in total for flight + transit + drive to hotel. Note: No direct flight from LA to Cleveland on this day. What a bad luck.

Although I was on business class flight from KLIA to Hong Kong, I did not notice any different except for the meals & larger seats. Kinds of disappointed with the so-called business class. However, the business class flight from Hong Kong to LA was great with full-flat bed. The nightmare began on flight from LA to Chicago at 10 minutes before midnight. The pilot reported hyraulic leaks on the left wings & waited for 30 minutes before it departed. This has paniced everyone & hardly caught a nap. Besides, the bad weather condition made the night worst. Thus, I was completely blur when I was at Chicago O'hare Airport. For your info, I did not notice the boarding time & nearly missed the flight to Cleveland. I was completely not feeling fresh anymore.

I ended up reaching Cleveland after struggling for so many hours. I was completely surprised what happened to my luggage. It was taped with TSA (www.tsa.gov). Being the first timer to US, I did not realize what happened to my luggage.

Without wasting anytime, I took a shuttle to collect my car, aheem, a toyota camry version 2008 with GPS. This car was cool & comfortable but left-hand drive. With GPS, I was struggling how to read the GPS while driving. And I lost my way a few times.

I reached hotel after lost a few times into US residential areas. Wow, the houses were nice & cosy. I want it.... I checked in, took a shower, unpacked & surprised by my luggage was forced open by TSA. Because of fatiguedness, I slept for the day.

I woke up at 830pm to hunt for foods. To my surprised, I hardly found any foods. Because of jet lag, I just settled my dinner with McDonalds. Prepare my document for the next day work & good night... ZZzzzzZZZzz....
