Greetings from The North Pole and How to Follow Our Travels This Week

December 6, 2010 at 5:15 PM | by | Comments (2)

Have you been making your Christmas list? Well, we wish you would have told us sooner because we could have dropped it off to The North Pole for you earlier today. So what if we didn't actually set our feet in the snow, but we did fly right over it on Cathay Pacific Flight 841, direct from New York-JFK to Hong Kong International. It's Cathay's longest flight at a hair over 14 hours flying time, and thus most passengers miss a map moment like the one above because they're busy sleeping through the long flight. Not us, though.

All this week we'll be in Hong Kong for two big reasons. One: Cathay Pacific is due to make many announcements at an event tomorrow and we'll be there, delivering the news fresh and toasty hot as always. Two: Hong Kong is a flippin' sweet city and we'll happily fly to the other side of the world at the drop of a hat for some pork floss buns and shopping at the I.T sale store.

How to follow along with our Hong Kong fun:

· Follow us on Twitter: @Jaunted is the name and tweeting breaking travel news and photos is our game. Where there's WiFi, we'll be there. Just keep in mind that we're 13 hours ahead of EST in Hong Kong, so looking back at our tweets when you wake up could be a good thing. You can also follow the personal account of Jaunted's editor, @JetSetCD, for more.
· Follow us on Foursquare: We're addicted to putting our stamp on the world, venue-by-venue, and that's where Foursquare comes in. Be our friend on Foursquare HERE, and you'll know exactly where we are by our check-ins. We're going to try for mayorship of at least one dim sum joint.
· Stay tuned to Jaunted.com: Whatever cool stuff there is to know from the Cathay Pacific secret event, we'll make sure you're on the in. Expect photo galleries and more fun, starting tomorrow.

Already Cathay has announced that, come 2011, they'll begin flying direct from Hong Kong to Chicago and Hong Kong to Abu Dhabi while upping the number of flights they've already got going to New York and Toronto.

Awesome!

Such a cool way to see the earth. It took me a second to realize what planet I was looking at.
