wolcots or tomatoes

greetings from thailand. wow... what a flight: by far the longest trip of all time. our flight from japan to thailand was bumby for the first two hours (and by bumpy think six flags roller coaster). coy about got sick, and almost yelled at the man trying to give him dinner. he was having none of that. our efforts to sleep from san francisco to tokyo were thwarted by a somewhat psychadelic ambien episode over the pacific ocean. all i know is i woke up with a full (not drank) beer upside down in my lap. i have no idea where it came from, but i smelled like a bar until this morning. recap: arrived in bangkok at midnight, cleared customs and got a taxi at one am, were 0-2 on finding a place to lay our heads until the magical (or not so magical) diamond hotel. with the help of our good friend, ambien, we were asleep by 3am. breakfast included deep fried donuts, rice and a few unknown dishes with carrots. coy filled a soup bowl with coffee allowing him to power ahead mightily. so we did. tuk tuks, and travel agents followed. we are back at the airport headed out for phuket. from there, we'll trek by long boat to ko phi phi, ko lanta, ko samui, and ko tao in some random order thereafter. then, an overnight train back to bangkok (26th) for a day before flying to siem reap cambodia for two days. we'll be acquiring a laso, some indiana jones hats and a pet monkey before venturing into the fabled angkor wat and angkor tom. fyi - i have a feeling this next flight is on a hang-glider, and i have no hair to feel the breeze.
