Washington, DC Dulles to Bangkok in two hops makes for a very long day. Leaving at 12:20 PM on March 26and arriving at the Shangra-la hotel at 12:30 am on the 28th, after stopping in Tokyo, we spent the first day sort of recuperating. The first leg, Dulles-Tokyo, was all in daylight, with spectacular views of artic ice, breaking up now, and Siberian snow. Very comfortable plane, a newly outfitted 777-300, which was the same model as flight 370...
Backing up a little, our trip is mostly via ship, the Oceania Nautica, which holds ~600 passengers. We embark in Bangkok Monday the 31st and get to Rome the 5th of May, after stops lots of places in between. Burma (Myanmar), Singapore, Phuket, India (which visa is another long, boring story), Jordan, Israel, Crete, and Rome.
Today, in a haze, I was convinced to get a jacket custom made for around $296.00. I am acting like a rich person. Anyway, I'm told I will get to wear it at least twice after the trip, the first time being at Judy's beautiful cousin Kate's daughter Barabara's wedding back in MD in September. Sorry for the awkward phrasing here. Fitting tomorrow, delivery Monday, am they say. Photo to follow.
PS, Richard got one made too, of a more daring blue color.
Anyway, that's all for now...
