On To Bangkok

Having packed and put Le Sport into storage, we departed January 7 for our next adventure, nearly three months in southeast Asia...21 hours in airplanes, another several at the terminals in San Francisco and Tokyo, and finally arrival at Suvarnabhumi at 1 AM on January 9th. After an initial short night at the At Residence/Suvarnabhumi, we moved to our new temporary home, the 29th floor of the Aloft Bangkok Sukhumvit.

Mothballed, so to speak, until end of March

Traveling light: no trekking/backpacking planned, no RV to
refit/resupply; two carry-ons and a small backpack each

Adieu, Frisco

Easing into Thai culture

Apart from the utilities, Bangkok is anything but 3rd world; our hotel is behind
the telephone pole on the right...

Anyhow, it's good to be back in this place we so much
enjoyed in 2008
