Well the trip for SF to Bangkok was long and well very very tiring. We stayed at the Novetel and found to our dismay that we had no internet services, so we decided to go back to the airport and see if we could get wifi there.
Well let me back up a minute. MS1 checked out our hotel and on line they said it was a five minute walk from the airport and easy to get to. So when we came out we went up to a guard and asked how to get to get to the hotel. He said go to door 4 and we could take a shuttle. When we got to the front of the airport we asked a tour guide how we could walk to the hotel and he said no we couldn't walk we had to take the shuttle. Okay two people telling us we had to take the shuttle we just thought the internet was wrong. So we get in the shuttle and it drives us across the street. Yes we were driven across the street.
We did find an underground tunnel that wasn't even a five minute walk. And we found these really cool magic escalators. But we did not find wifi. No wifi no bloggee.
So we were up early in the morning to catch a flight on the only airlines that flies into Bhutan. I was a little nervous that I was flying with an airline that only had two planes, but to my relief I found out that they had just leased a third plane and were in negotiations for a fourth. So they were in the big times. It was suppose to be a nonstop flight to Paro, but as our leaders told us as they are the only game in town they can make whatever changes they want so we had a tiny stop in India, so we got in late which kind of messed up our leaders schedule.
We were rushed through lunch so we could get our hike in before dinner and before it got dark. They said that we were only going to do half of it because of the timing, I thought oh it won't be so hard, but it was and now I am tired and stinky, but I am not going to worry about it because I am in a land were deodorant has yet to be discovered.

Boy, maybe T3 will realize that she doesn't need two showers per day. The savings on deodorant will no doubt pay for a trip to Nepal (or Naples maybe)
