Nepal and Taiwan
Orignal plan was a quick trip to Taiwan via Japan, onboard United Airlines' inaugural flight from Tokyo Narita to Kaohsiung, Taiwan. However, a last-minute invitation to Abinash and Shristi's wedding in Nepal turned a quick trip to Taiwan into a much more elaborate one, adding in a few days in Nepal and a pair of layovers in Hong Kong.
Day 1: the usual quick flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo Narita.
Day 2: arrival in Japan and an uneventful layover at the Hilton Narita Airport.
Day 3: less than ideal routing to Kathmandu, Nepal, via Hong Kong. Cathay Pacific business class isn't bad and their lounges are nice.
Day 4: exploring Kathmandu, Nepal.
Day 5: Shristi & Abi's big day.
Day 6: Cathay Pacific again for Nepal to Hong Kong to Japan, then United's inaugural flight from Narita to Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Day 7: exploring Kaohsiung.
Day 8: bit of a delayed return home due to operational issues and bad weather.
