Made it to Bangkok.
Tip of the day: upstairs on a 747. The ride to Narita was great, the ride to Bangkok not so good. Ugh, the humanity....However, my tried and true jetlag cure (drink non-stop while travelling west) worked great.
Tig, taking the cure, 11 am, Vancouver.

We are staying an a...um... colourful part of Bankgkok, but the place we are staying is great (if a little rustic). Part cheap hotel, part expensive hostel, it is a little tucked away, and pretty friendly.

Hey... good to hear you have touched-down and ready to tackle your next adventure. All the best. Andy
Hey Pat and Tig,
Sounds like you adventure is off to a fine start! Just thought Pat should know that we won our curling game tonight. Because of a conjunction of the correct teams wining and losing we are moving up to A! Just so you know we are A quality even without you! But don't take it the wrong way. Keep the pictures coming. We will tell you how we do next week. What e-mail works?
Yikes! See what happens when I leave you guys alone for a game!?! The A event? Are you nuts?
Good luck.
I periodically check my pdjohnst@telus.net addy.
