This looks great! Safe travels!

I‘ve only been in KT about a year too and feel welcomed here. Dawn I hope you and your DH have a wonderful trip to Thailand. The food looks very good. The lounges often do a pretty good job, don’t they. And hopefully you will have some good food and service onboard. Of course you will probably want to sleep!

Dessert #2:

I'm now stuffed!

Outside, overall the lounges do a great job and are a nice place to hang out during a long layover. Our flight is going to have a full meal shortly after takeoff so I'm trying to get hungry again. All I need to do now is stop drinking the free beer!

Then it will be time to sleep and hopefully not be too jetlagged once we get to Thailand. It's a 13 hour fight so sleeping would be a good thing.

Enjoy!

Have a safe flight and a wonderful trip.

Have fun!

You seem to be a world traveler. Enjoy this trip!

Have a great trip!

Thailand is known for good priced gemstones if you know how to identify the real ones . Google it and learn some basic tips before you get there. Have a safe trip, don’t go out alone though, stay with your group.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone! Glenda, like you, we love to see the world and experience new things. Now that were retired we are trying to see as much as we can.

It's turned into a food fest. A few minutes ago they put out a full Western style Christmas dinner. There is ham, scalloped potatoes, cornbread stuffing and green beans. Oh, and a ginger bread cookie along with a peppermint schnapps and vodka cocktail that were being given out.

We still have two hours before we board the plane and then we'll be eating again! Yikes!

That looks pretty tasty! Have a safe trip!

I'm being so bad...I passed on the green beans!

Looking forward to seeing more pictures. Have a great time!

I've never traveled first class. :0) That alone would be an experience....sleeping laying down! lol Have a wonderful time!

Please post pics, we love seeing other parts of the world.

I flew first class once, and it was fantastic!

One more thing, do not drink anything outside hotel ( if the place is not well known ). I have heard people lost everything after a drink ( passed out). Be safe! Keep your eyes open, make sure no one follows you guys. It would be safer if you are with a group. Do you have a group of people with you?

Just landed in Tawain. Nextflight is to Bangkok and leaves here in an hour.

No worries, summersrhythm, this is our third trip to Bangkok/ Thailand and we know our way around there pretty well. We've never had any problems and the people there are friendly and helpful. In many ways I feel safer there than I do in places in the US.

More pics to come once we arrive and get settled! :-)

Looking forward to you blogging your travels. Safe trip.

That's good to know. Have a fun trip! :-)

That sounds like fun. Looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing about your adventure.

Thank you, everyone!

We arrived yesterday at 10:45 in the morning to light rain which became heavier as the day went on and a high of 69 degrees. Today it is forecast to be 84 degrees and cloudy. The next day the sun is going to come out and temps will be in the upper 80s.

After we unpacked, took much needed showers and changed into clean clothes, we took a walk around the neighborhood, stopped in an Irish pub for a beer and then had dinner at a small Thai restaurant. After that, it was home to bed. Both of use were very tired after 30+ hours in planes and/or airports plus there is the time difference of 15 hours. Hoping to be fully adjusted to Thai time in a couple of days.

When we came back from dinner, we found this gift basket that had been delivered to our place by hotel management. It was very much appreciated and so nice to have some snack items on hand.

Definitely some goodies in that basket.

Interesting that you would go out to eat at a Thai restaurant!

Not only is the hours difference an issue, you crossed the dateline and you are in another date!
