We’ve made it to Bangkok! Had a bit of a crazy departure from LA — said good bye to ma barker and sis, took off to the airport in our rental, got to the airport and found mom’s car keys in the front seat! Luckily, we were able to find a cab to wisk the keys away back to Pasadena and still manage to make it to the gate on time.
After 22 hours of travel, we landed in Thailand at 2am. We waited in the airport until the sun rose - passing the time with 12 games of yahtzee and zilch - headed into the city and found a cheap place to stay in a central neighborhood. We’ve taken care of 3 visas, bought thai silk, toodled around the river on a water taxi, tried the yellow curry and pad thai, taken a tuk-tuk, and booked tickets to the south where we will be hitting up the beaches on islands off the eastern coast. Currently, we are struggling to stay awake until 10pm to push off jet lag. Have not yet tried the beer… that might be next.
I’m glad you guys made it (especially with the rental car drama) and are livin it up. I can’t believe you were traveling for almost 24 hours. Take lots of pictures…as if I have to ask. Miss you already! –Kerry

Okay, I hate to ask but what’ a “tuk-tuk”. And where did you take it?

YAY! for arriving safely. Hopefully the inflight movies didn’t make the trip seem any longer.
And it looks like you guys are settling in nicely. Keep us updated. (And send me the myspace logins!)
