Well I have been meaning to finish posting for this trip and didn't ever do it. I will try to post a few things several months after the fact but don't remember much.
We had a 6:00 am flight leaving Bangkok. We had to get up really early. Since we would not be able to eat breakfast that morning, the hotel offered to deliver a continental breakfast to us free of charge so we took them up on it. Since we had gotten in late the night before after the dinner cruise we didn't get much sleep. Our wake up call was around 2:00 am and our breakfast was around 2:30 am. I really don't remember what time we had to leave the hotel but I think it was around 3:30 am or 4:00 am. The hotel provided the transportation to the airport and since it was so early in the morning there was no traffic.
We flew from Bangkok to Tokyo and arrived without incident. We were to have about a 3 hour layover in Tokyo but it turned out to be much longer as there were maintenance problems with the plane and it left very late. We were flying to San Francisco and from there to Phoenix and on to Dallas. Our flight was so late arriving into San Francisco we were sure that we would miss our connection. We had to claim our luggage and go through passport control and customs and them walk to the other end of the world to check our bags again. We dropped our bags off and they told us our plane was already boarding and we needed to hurry. We were able to get there with just minutes to spare. The rest of the day was uneventful.
Once we arrived in Dallas we were so glad. It had been a long trip but very memorable and enjoyable. Craig met us at the airport with a Diet Dr Pepper. It sure did taste good.
This was truly a trip of a lifetime that we will always remember.
