| After 32 hours of traveling Meg and I have made it to Bangkok and to our guest house. We are both exhausted and jet lagged but very excited. Its 3:20 AM here and we have checked into our room at a place called the Thai Cozy House. In the lobby there are six fairly new computes with flat screens and coin slots; internet use is 10 baht for 20 minutes ( 1 dollar is 37 baht).Our research has already served us well as we managed to get from the airport to our guest house for 35 baht. When we walked out of the airport there are alot of “taxi services” who offer you a car, but accoriding to what we read they over charge grealy are un regulated and unmetered. A backpacker next to us was quoted 800 baht for a taxi service to khoasan road; thats more than meg and I are paying for our room. We took a shuttle to the bus depot and then a bus to the Khoa San area. The bus driver pointed, said “there”, and we got off. We looked at each other laughed then walked in the direction where we thought our guesthouse was; and we found it. Our guesthouse is about two blocks away from th infamous Khoasan Road, which is basically backpacker central. Our room has A/C, a private bathroom with a hot shower.
Anyway, the bed is calling (thanks for the ambien Lisa). We will post again over the next days. We are staying in this guest house for atleast 3 days. Oh, unfortunately my cellphone doesn’t seem to want to work, even though Cingular guarunteed it would. Oh well. Thanks again to all who helped us get here.

JNU and Meg,
Great to hear from you. We tried to call but no answer..just the voicemail. Looks like you’re right about Cingular.
Congrats on making it there….keep the updates coming…
