Firstly, that's amazing--congrats on finishing. Secondly, really well written piece! Never boarded to be honest but these type of stories always put a smile on my face and I'm glad stories like this do get on HN's main feed. There is a lot more to these type of stories than the actual journey itself, yours especially. Congrats again! Since you never will do that exact trip again, maybe another is a possibility?!
