After about 19 hours in the air and 6 hours in various airports, we finally arrived in Thailand. We got in about midnight local time and in grand Villy and Janis tradition, immediately went out to eat in Chinatown. One of the great things about Bangkok is you can find food at pretty much any time day or night.

The travel was for the most part pleasant and uneventful. Our flights were booked far below capacity so we were able to stretch out and sleep on the plane. One particular highlight was the Sakura lounge in the main building of Narita airport. That lounge is so nice that if I could book a trip with a 1 month layover in Narita, I would. The lounge has private bathrooms with showers, free massages, free food (snacks, udon, Japanese curry) , and free drinks (beer, wine,. It also has comfortable seating, and free wireless access. The day I lose my platinum status on American (probably around 12/31/2008) will indeed be a dark day.

We are staying with my uncle's house initially then moving to the home my parents just built about 10 minutes away from my uncle's house once we get settled.
