We have arrived....




After nearly being in the air for 23 hours yesterday, not counting time on the ground, we arrived in Bangkok, Thailand at 11:30pm on Wednesday, February 21st.




Once we made it through customs, gathered our luggage (no lost luggage to talk about) and off to the exit to this unknown world to us. We turned the corner and scanned the sheer people to see if we could figure out who was picking us up. But we noticed right away a great big yellow sign welcoming us. As we approached, there were 15 - 20 Rotarians excited to meet us all. Talk about overwhelming and exciting. Pictures, welcomes, hand shakes all around. Funny looks as they gathered our luggage. I think some commented ... heavy.




For the next 15 minutes, there were a lot of pictures taken and introduction made. We look forward to meeting them all again tonight at our first Rotary Meeting.




We were swept away to our hotel for some much needed rest.
