November 2?, 2008 – 4:00 AM PST – Somewhere between NRT and BKK.

Sixteen or so hours later and we are still flying. It is 4:00 AM our time and I just woke up from an hour nap but I am obviously still tired.

We survived a 14 hour flight (double check that) from Seattle to Tokyo, sat in a little bar at the airport for 2 hours drinking Sopporo and sake that tasted like blue and right now we are a few hours into a 7 hour flight from Tokyo to Bangkok.

This trip is definitely feeling more intense than it was when we were flying out of SFO. We are in the middle row of a 747 packed in like barn animals on the arc on our last connecting flight which will land in Bangkok. Flying into Tokyo from Seattle was very pleasant. We had two seats next to the window with a view of Tokyo and Mt. Fuji as the plane was landing at sunset. Now there are many more people on this Bangkok flight that don’t speak English and someone behind me sounds like they have a cold. Kind of sketchy and don't want to get sick.

Anyways, I am a lot of tired and am guessing about six hours out of Bangkok on this crowded plane. We’ll keep you posted.
