“BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!”
(Title catchphrase from the original television show & film series “Star Trek”)
April 1, 2019
What's worse than having a hangover but isn't an hangover ? A 27 hour travel to Vancouver and then add 4
hours for the return journey. I wish it
had been a hangover instead!
We traveled from Karachi to Doha- so that’s 3 hours; with a 3 hour
wait in Doha. We then had a 15½ hour
journey to Los Angeles. That was
followed by a 3 hour wait. Finally,
another 3 hour journey to Vancouver… 27 HOURS!
Returning was exactly the same- except we had to add 2 more hours
for the wait in Los Angeles; and 2 more hours for the wait in Doha… 31 HOURS!
Being in Economy didn’t really help either!
To top if off, coming over the Pole, not only did we overpass Vancouver (almost) to LAX but after our stop there, we had to fly back up North again to Vancouver. Same on the return- we flew south out LAX only to fly by Vancouver on our way to Doha! I should have simply routed my ticket through Seattle, Montreal, Chicago or New York!

I just read an article that the Spaceship X type of programs will
eventually result in an half hour journey between Dubai & London – can’t
wait for that to happen!
Till then, I wish star Trek's transporter was actually there- we
could simply be across the world with a simple "beam me up... Scotty"!
