I must admit that I feel lonely and distant if I don’t travel and experience new places. By the way, I am Jaspreet again with another exciting post of my recent trip. Being an optometrist is testing and demanding at times; nevertheless, my heart yearns for a break. Of course, I engage myself in yoga and aerobics and sometimes try cooking new dishes; yet I wait with bated breath for the next travel, which my hubby announces.
This time he came out with an international holiday trip, which took me by surprise. We started packing our bags and then booked our tickets - railway tickets and flight tickets - online. My journey from Ludhiana to New Zealand started on a Thursday. We had to travel to New Delhi to catch Cathay Pacific flight scheduled for 22.45 hours the same day. Nonetheless, the Hirakund Express (18508) to Delhi was expected to arrive at the Ludhiana Junction at 2.00 am.
Since it was too early in the morning, we did not sleep much. The train arrived on time and we boarded it to mark the beginning of out yet another trip. Once we got into the train, we got ready to sleep because we had good five and a half hours to reach New Delhi. The seats were quite comfortable and we dozed off until the train reached the Panipat Junction. We reached New Delhi at 8.00 in the morning and caught a cab to check into a hotel near the Indira Gandhi International Airport.

After ample hours of easiness at the hotel, we reached the airport quite early to check in. After collecting our boarding pass, we were guided by a pleasant and smiling crew into the flight. Being a budget traveler, I had booked new Economy Class tickets with Cathay Pacific, which was a stop-over flight scheduled at 22.45 hours. We reached Hong Kong at 6.55 hours after almost eight hours of journey.

Hong Kong is a beautiful place and the terminal offered exceptional facilities with world-class lounges. We spent over two and a half hours in the lounge before we were escorted to the Cathay Pacific flight to Auckland.
The Economy Class seats were quite comfortable with a reclining facility of six inches to help you relax and sleep well. The nine inches personal television offered a lot of entertainment. The crew was friendly and helpful all along the journey. We reached Auckland at 12.10 hours the next day.
