Austin to Bangkok

We started our journey this morning with a little snag—our first flight, from Austin to L.A., was delayed and looked like it might be cancelled.  The ticket agent suggested we take an alternative route from Austin to Dallas and from there on to L.A.  Whew!  A little more flying, but at least we knew for sure we’d make it to L.A. in time for our flight to Hong Kong and then on to Bangkok from there.  On the flight to Hong Kong, we were VERY excited when we saw that Haagen Dazs would be served for dessert.  Check out John’s smiling face and the menu:

The ice cream was a high point, since the flight to Hong Kong seemed interminable—every time I checked to see how much longer we had, I couldn’t believe it was still that much longer.  And then finally, finally, 4 flights and 32 hours later, we’d made it to Bangkok!
