We Made It!!

Well, after 20+ hours of travel time (slight detour to Alaska in order to refuel), we finally arrived in Bangkok. What a beautiful airport! This airport was completed 3 months ago and it is 45 minutes away from our hotel. After a precarious taxicab ride to our hotel, we were pleasantly surprised when we were upgraded and are staying in a suite at the Marriott! We both want to stay longer, but must leave tomorrow to take a flight to Udon Thani and then a 45 minute taxicab ride to Nong Khai, where we will meet our roomies and hunker down for the next month! We are both spent and on the ropes with jet lag, but filled with excitement that after months of planning and anticipation, we have arrived.
