Flying to Tonga

The Internet in Tonga is SOOO slow that I wasn't bothering to blog.
But now on our last day here I will try to sum up our trip adventures.
We left from LA on a flight that stopped at Apia Samoa.
In the red carpet club we were asked if we would like to change our seats to the emergency row.
We said yes but on the plane, we noticed that our seats do not recline.
Our original seats were in the front rows with plenty of leg room, we looked at them with yearning in our eyes.
We spoke to the flight's attendant and asked if it would be possible to return to our original seats. Fourteen hours in the air with no reclining seats could be very stiff.
We were told to go back to our seats and if our original seats were not reassigned, we can return to them when we take off.
Right before the plane took off, while they were closing the doors and asking everyone to shut off all electronic devices, the flight attendant came to us and apologetically said that our original seats were reassigned but she said we should grab our bags and follow her.
We waggles our bags out of the overhead compartment and followed her.
She marched straight into first class and presented us with two cushy leather sofas that recline to a sleeping position.
We spent the next fourteen hours in the luxury of first class, with ceramic china, cloth napkins, private TV screens, but mostly sleeping and enjoying ourselves.
A good start- a great omen.
