Arrived in Thailand!

We made it to Chaing Mai about 9:00pm after about 36 hours of travel. Our Horizon air flight was to leave Spokane for Seattle at 6:30 but was delayed due to a mechanical failure on the plane while it was in Seattle on the way to Spokane. The agent was very kind and moved us to an Alaska flight at 7:30 and bumped us to 1st class. After boarding and getting settled, the captain reported the Alaska flight had a mechanical error and we had to deplane J They rebooked us and we ended back on the original Horizon Q400 prop plane leaving at just after 8:00pm. I’m sure glad we had about 5 hours of layover time.

Our Eva Air flight went from Seattle to Taipai to Bangkok. The airline was quite nice and the Elite Class seats were very comfortable. We’re really happy we booked early as we got the upgraded seats at the price of coach. Once in Bangkok we took Bangkok Air to Chaing Mai and a 10 minute cab ride to Le Meridian Hotel (very nice).

After a great breakfast at the hotel, we just had a 40 minute Skype call with AT&T to try and resolve some international roaming issues on our phones. Now that is out of the way we are about to go out and tour the city for the day before transferring to the Habitat sponsored hotel (The Lotus).
