Hi from Bangkok. I arrived this morning after a very long 18 hour flight from LAX. I got on the plane at 9:30 Thursday evening (New Years night) and got off the plane at 7:00 Saturday morning in Bangkok. No Friday.
After clearing immigration and customs, I went directly to the customer service desk to explain my situation regarding. They couldn't have been nicer. They gave me two options for getting to Kunming today. One was to fly through Vientienne, Laos, then connect on to Kunming arriving this afternoon. The other was to fly later tonight direct to Kunming, arriving at 10:30. Normally I would have jumped at the chance to go to another country (even if only for two hours) but after 18 hours of flying and very little sleep, I opted for the later direct flight. No connections and transfers. So, to compensate me even further (as though that weren't enough!) they put me in a really nice hotel, and gave me vouchers for breakfast and lunch.
So, I'll be in China this evening, in my old church tomorrow morning, and among dear old friends and coworkers. Keep praying for the Spirit's presence and leading all along the way.
Hey Tom, had lunch with your wife today. Was good to hear about your Asian adventure update directly from her! Last I heard you weren't going to get to China tonight...good to hear it all worked out! Praying that your time with friends is sweet & refreshes your soul. Love you dear friend, Carolann
