18 hours on a plane

Safe in Thailand after almost 24 hours of traveling and a little bit of sleep.

It's noon. We arrived early this morning, 1:30 am local time (approx 11:30 am back home). It was a fight to stay awake on the plane. 11 hours from SFO to Tokyo, a 2 hour lay over in Japan, and 6 more hours to Bangkok, then a 45 minute ride to our hotel.

The Golden House hotel is nice. $35 or 1,500 baht a night. We plan to be here for 2 days before beginning another adventure. We have no plans yet but are looking forward to beaches, snorkling, and good food.

My favorite part of the trip so far? The little spokesperson cartoon and bathrooms in the Narita airport.

Did you try out the heated seats in the NRT bathrooms too? the most surprising part was the button that had a picture of a bare backside w/ a squirt of water going towards it. I didn't have the courage to push it.

Where in Thailand are you, how long are you staying there, etc? if you go to Ko Phi Phi Don, that's where Rainy and I got engaged (the north end of the island, just north of the sea gypsy village.) You can get there via ferry from Phuket.
