Friday, September 7, 11:30 a.m., Bangkok
Whew! What a trip! After our 9 1/2 hour flight to Tokyo, we had a 5-hour layover before we could board our last flight to Bangkok. We walked through the terminal a couple of times and enjoyed the sushi and ramen for dinner. Mostly we were just anxious to get back on the plane, though. Especially since Japan was expecting to be hit by a tropical storm within 24 hours. Winds and rain had already started picking up as we waited. By the time we boarded, it was 2 a.m. back home (according to our body clocks) so we just slept for most of the last 6-hour flight.
We got through customs without any problems, found all our luggage right away, exchanged some money and found a taxi. Well, actually the driver found us. Ha ha. It's crazy how they hound you for your business over here! We got to our hotel around 12:30 a.m., took showers and crashed for the rest of the night.
So here we are, finally in the same country as our children! Sunday can't come soon enough! But in the meantime, we are going to do some sightseeing...The Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha...this afternoon. Hope to try some good Thai food tonight. We made contact with our friend, Mai, here in Bangkok and she wants to be our guide tomorrow. It will be great to see things firsthand with someone who lives here and knows the best things about Thailand!
We'll try to post again after our afternoon of sightseeing! Thanks again for your prayers for our travel safety
