Peru-Bolivia Trip - Day 1 - Transit in HK en route to Los Angeles

This vacation to Peru and Bolivia is getting to be exciting as we never what will happen next.

This morning, on the way to Changi airport, I learnt over the radio that WHO has raised the level of pandemic alert from 4 to 5 ie widespread human infection.

One of our group members had cancelled her vacation plan. I was surprised to see her send us off at the airport.

We left Singapore for Los Angeles on a CX flight. We were informed before landing in HK that the HK government requires all passengers disembarking in HK to submit a health check form.

What a time to go on a vacation! We will be going to one of the pandemic hot spots - California, US though there are no reported cases in LA. There are cases in San Diego and Imperial County. Both are close to the Mexican border.

Exciting, isn't it?
