Welcome to the Land of Smiles

Although our flight was delayed out of Los Angeles, we had no problems making our connection in Hong Kong. We arrived in Bangkok last night, and grabbed an airport-approved taxi. Although he had to stop once to get directions to our hotel, and complained about the "baby" tip I gave him, we arrived safely at New Siam Guest House... and walked around the corner to New Siam Guest House II, where we had reservations. (Apparently there is also a III and IV, somewhat of a monopoly going on here!)

Our first room was pleasant, until Jen noticed that there were ants crawling on the bed. So we moved to the room across the hall, showered off as much airplane goo as possible and passed out.

After finally getting under way this morning, we felt the humidity as soon as we stepped out our door. It's not too bad though. You just end up feeling moist. (Eew.) We made our arrangements for some travel after our few days here in Bangkok, and now the plan is to get ourselves some massages!

I'm sure I'll have more to write later...

Good to hear you got there safe! you know what scares ants? Windex. But I'm fairly certain you didn't have any with you, with the 3 oz liquid rules and all. So yeah, sucks about the ants.
