    Default Okay, here we go! BKK bound!!

    Yup, finally hit my 6 month mark so I can get ZEDs! Leaving in the morning, SFO-NRT-BKK. Should get first outbound, maybe even both legs. Return, who knows. I have a backup on Thai to LAX if needed.

    Pics and trip report to follow!

    I got Biz class outbound. I was pretty annoyed as it seemed F was a sure thing. But of course, last minute deadheading crewmembers knocked that out. Barely made C.

    I'm sitting in NRT for another couple of hours. I'll most likely be in back for the next leg, unless a miracle occurs.

    Aaaaaand in back it was. Not bad actually, but my body was saying ffffuuuu. I was in 30D on a 777, with no one beside me. I hooked up my CPAP machine and tried to sleep, but no luck. I was a very tired puppy when I got to my hotel.

    At least you got there! When did you get into the city? I assume most US flts come in just before midnight. What area did you choose for a hotel? Are you still alive and well and enjoying BKK?

    Flight arrived at 2315, bang on time! I'm staying at Novotel Fenix Silom (notice a pattern here lol?) right on Silom Road near the river. Very interesting city, so much glass and gliter yet so much pain and suffering. At least the homeless don't have to worry about being cold eh?

    If I know I'm gonna be on aircraft that has power outlets, I bring the machine with me esp if I think I'm getting F or C. C class on UA is so narrow tho, it's tough for me to get it all hooked up. There's no storage, so I have to throw it under the seat after I recline it flat. Noise doesn't really bother anyone but I tell my seatmates that if it should bother them to please let me know so I can disconnect. Econ Plus on the 777 has it, down low between the seats. There's just not enough recline for me to really even try though.

    I think this might be a good topic to keep on the board. I have mild apnea (genetics!) but humidifier usually saves my marriage. Maybe some brilliant moderator can move a few posts and rename.
    PS--no pics of you on cpap necessary!
