One Lap Around the Earth ... attempt 1: One night in Bangkok!

We left for Kathmandu airport at 7 am and had plenty of time to get through security and board the plane. Unfortunately the plane was delayed almost an hour for take off. The flight had a connection in Delhi, India, then onto Bangkok. Finally we were airborne at 0945. We landed at Delhi 2hrs prior to our flight to Bangkok, which would be plenty of time if we weren't at Delhi airport. First, there was no announcement as to what gate we were connecting to, and no airline personnel knew either. Then we had to run like mad to the opposite side of the airport. I thought we had plenty of time since we were just making a connection and not leaving the terminal. WRONG! For a connection (at Delhi Int'l) you have to go back through security again! AND get a new tag for your carry on luggage. Once we got through that disorganized, inadequate system, we still had to run to another terminal, and our gate was on the very end of it. This was the most ignorant system we had ever scene.

So, after a pain in the ass experience at Delhi Airport, which included Heidi getting yelled at by an airport security official for trying to stand in the "men's line," AND after enduring one extremely long security line for women (it literally took an hour for Heidi to get through) we arrived safely in Bangkok. We arrived safely in Bangkok after Heidi was frisked (boobs and butt grabbed by a female security officer) five times since leaving Kathmandu...NICE! Too bad it wasn't me doing the frisking, I was getting jealous :)

Goodbye again, India... :) we still love you, but we are ready to move on... We'll be back someday.

Hello, Bangkok-

We were descending just in time for a good sunset pic
