We got up extra early this morning to ensure we could make it through any blizzard conditions we encountered on the way to the CR airport. The flight to Chicago went very well, but once in O'Hare, things went downhill. First we were delayed from 12:00 noon to 1:30, then til 6, then 3, then 4:15, but when all was said and done we left the ground at about 6:10. Yuck. So while United did "at least get us to Asia" (to quote our apologetic pilot), we are overnighting in Tokyo instead of Bangkok. I guess we just get an extra adventure out of the deal.
Prof. Drexler promises we'll have a good view tomorrow morning when we leave the hotel and fly to BKK. The Tokyo-Narita airport is essentially in the middle of rice paddies, about 2 hours from Tokyo proper. It sounds gorgeous and we may be able to see more of Japan as well as Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia out of the plane windows if their clear weather holds. Should be exciting!
In about ten more hours, we'll all be in Thailand! :)
