In transit

Got to Bangkok after a long day of traveling. We stopped in Philadelphia first, then twelve hours to Doha, then finally six more hours to Bangkok. We landed at 7 pm, just after sunset.  The highlight of the flight was definitely seeing the Arabian desert from the air as we landed in Qatar. I watched Catching Fire, monuments men, saving mr banks, and anchorman 2, and read a book called the Paris time capsule on the way.  I got a little sleep, but pretty much stayed awake and them crashed when we arrived in Bangkok.  Our bags were here too, so we were able to just get to the hotel and sleep.  The Novotel was excellent, and breakfast this morning was delicious.  I tried rambutan and kiwi jelly as new foods for the meal.  Now we're heading to Siem reap and Angkor Wat! We stopped at the Bangkok airlines office and cancelled our other flights, and actually got back a lot of money! So far everything is going great.
