Travelling to the US

May 1, 2008

  Its not really easy to take a long haul flight that lasts for more than 16 hours especially for me since despite my frequent travels I still have a huge fear of flying. WHen the pilot turns on the seatbelt sign I would normally break into a prayer to save me from danger.

This is the very first time after 4 years that I have to take such a long haul flight that despite my not thinking about it I felt a little bit stressed out just thinking about what I will do inflight.

We actually missed our flight so we had to rebook the following da y APril 27 . I would take note not to fly UA again, one because their stewardesses are not so friendly and two because their inflight food is bad.

 Its a good thing we were booked at Holiday Inn Carlsbad by the Sea which is just infront of the Carlsbad Factory outlets and the Flower Fields which are two of the interesting places to visit in San Diego.

  

Holiday Inn is a quiant hotel that has a homey atmosphere. The minute we walked in to check in we were greeted by two charming ladies.

I think most Americans are polite enough to ask their customers "Howd you doing guys?" which elicits a never ending reply routine from us "Oh we’re good!. Everytime you walk into a store the sales persons would greet you and strike a conversation with about their products etc which is very unfamiliar to me as an Asian customer.

In Singapore , when you walk into  a store ,you are invisible to the sales persons eyes.They only help you out when you ask them for help. This is something quite different in the USA when customer service is I would say excellent.
