Homeward Bound
We flew economy on Air Tahiti Nui but lucked out and got bulkhead seats which gave us extra legroom for the overnight flight. We arrived in Los Angeles at 11 AM, cleared customs, got our luggage and made our way to the United terminal for the five-hour flight back to Newark. It was a very [...]
