On our way to Bangkok!

13 November 2014
The time has finally come that we are on our way to Bangkok.  We are both filled with excitement, but am also a bit nervous about the whole adventure.  My biggest concern is the language barrier...how much pointing can you get away with?  Tim's biggest concern seems to be personal security.  However, we really don't know what we should or shouldn't worry about until we are there...and here we go!

On our way to Bangkok from Chicago, Illinois.

Tim was excited that we got to fly a Boeing 747-400. For some reason it is important to say "400".
After about 22 hours of traveling through Cleveland to Chicago to Tokyo we finally made it to Bangkok at 11:30 PM.

Tim checking out the Thai Bhat he just got in the Bangkok Airport. The exchange rate is about 320 Baht for $1 USD.

That is a pretty long taxi line at the Bangkok Airport!
After a 45 minute taxi ride that cost 500 Baht ($15) we made it to our hotel and got to our room around 1:30 AM. Now...about the room...hum...well...I guess I will start by saying that it only cost us $35 USD per night, so we really didn't know what to expect.  I guess that I can say that we got what we paid for, but did I pay for mouse droppings?  Oh well...we are only paid for 3 nights and for the first night, we were so exhausted, so I really didn't care what the room looked like, as long as it had a bed.

So...good night for now, and tomorrow I will show pictures of our hotel.
