Ride For Cambodia?

Don't need to assume your luggage will get "delayed" just because shyte happens.
Actually, its prolly the tight connection time I set up.* It was suggested to leave three hours between connecting flights and I scheduled with only an hour and 25 between flights in Bejeing. The JFK flight left late causing me to run to the next flight to be the last one on board. Whew! The checked luggage prolly could not run as fast. :)* a common occurance according to the nice gals in BKK who were working behind mountains of "delayed" luggage.* LOL.
JOE'S story is only a little different but similar in that the check luggage often can't keep pace with the connections, especially if there is any delayed flights at all.
I'M not worried...THE BAGS WILL COME BECAUSE WE BUILT IT.* ;)
HOWEVER: IF they're not here tomorrow, I'm buying a swim suit and jumping in that pool. Thats that last time I pack a priority piece of equipment like that in a check bag. ;)
I can see clearly that I will not be able to keep posts and pics updated as fast as events/stories happen. If I do, it will cut into the time needed to generate said stories. Suffice it to say, Joe and I had a really cool day today filled with all the wonders Bangkok can deliver, including meeting great people and navigating a taxi via my Droid stand alone GPS and the OSM maps I downloaded. WE all were laughing and enjoying the language barrier.
More stuff as time allows.

Thanks Ash, don't know where were going shoehorn GoPro duties. ;)

Just got a call... one bag is in. Joe asked which one, and I replied, " I didn't ask, but I hope its yours." He said, "Why? Am I whining a lot?"

My bag was delivered to the door.

Sounds like a great adventure!


Thanks Dinkie. I'm reading impaired. :D

We're both likely to end up with additional impairments if we keep following this thread. I hope one of'em has a personal blog page to post the stuff that won't pass muster here.
 
Here we go! The shenanigans are under way! I have a couple of comments.

1. Moe looks good displaying them
2. They aren't my size
3. That's not a pouch, that's a reservoir tip :rofl1:
 
Reservior tip indeed! :)

I think Dink is refering to me when using the term "Moe"...prolly leftover from a previous ride report where the book title " The Scopion and the Turd" was arrived at.

AS predicted, Joe got his bag delivered this morning before breakfast. Just over 24 hours to get both bags back from who knows what corner of the globe.
We can both breath a sigh of relief now.

Neither Joe nor I experience any significant Jet lag, which surprised us even though we followed the recomendation of going to sleep at a normal (local) time, even if it feels uncomfortable to do so.
It's like a 24 hour segment of our lives was removed surgically. We're having more trouble identifying what day it is than what time it is.

TGIF for you guys, there is weekend bazaar market in BKK, should go check that out tomorrow. watch-out for pick pockets, they sell any/every things might be ST on sale too?
 
Youse guys are 12 hours ahead of Eastern fast time.

So 1030 tonight (now)in NYC is 1030 tomorrow morning (now) over there.

Had a pretty nice experience getting immunize d at the Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute today. Staff were out to lunch when we arrived so we toured the Snake Exibit 'round back.

The recommendation for our adventure was to get the Malaria Doxycycline, Typhoid, ans Japanese Encepholitis. Total cash outlay: 1520 Baht ( $50).
No appointment, very little waiting, very helpful and curtious service, though not an easy commute to get there from the hotel.

I felt car sick from the taxi ride and from the driver not knowing where the place was and making wrong turns against our GPS guided instructions.

A series of videos of a hard core Tuk Tuk ride back to the hotel are in the phone. Can't seem to upload them in the same manor as the pics from TapaTalk. We'll see if I figure that one out. :)

Probably have to load to YouTube then link to here Danny.

Glad the immunizations were relatively easily and inexpensive! Did you learn to identify which snakes to avoid?

Thanks Ash. I was uploading to You Tube when your suggestion came in but it was taking so long tha Joe and I went out for dinner and came back. It just finished so now its on You Tube .... working on the next step in tye process.

Meantime, I am feeliny a little under the weather most likely due to the two shots and the daily Malaria pill.
Joe probably will need a dentist tomorrow for an abcessed molar.
