After 8,900 miles and 20 hours of travel (NYC => Beijing => Bangkok), we arrived at our destination at 12:30 AM local time sin checked luggage! Air China was not apologetic in the matter and dutifully filled out paper work and informed us that our baggage would arrive the following day on the 6 PM flight. When asked what should we do in the meantime, they replied “wait.”

Ugh!
But after a few Yan Jing and amp-ed up for our 25-day adventure through S.E.A, we jumped into a taxi and headed to our guesthouse to unwind in our “Deluxe” room.

Holy crap, this has the makings of a National Lampoon holiday flick all over it (the Asian version, of course)! I've been checking your blog every two hours. I'm glad you arrived safely, but the lack of luggage sounds like a bummer. Good thing you have your electronics with you though. Can't wait for your next update.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got your luggage finally - did they upgrade the room? This is all quite exciting! I hope all of the minor details work out (luggage, rooms...several hundred baht McDonalds bill), but remember - you're in SEA! Looking forward to the next update!
