OK...so we finally land in Manila...and just maybe I was a little lit up from breakfast...that Johnny Walker went really great with that fishburger, pickle, rice porridge...oh, and some nuts...and a little more scotch... really it's a bit of a blur.
Here is a shot of the 2 of us on Geritol Air! So we get ushered into something called the "transit lounge" where they take your passport and tell you to sit down. That lasted about 3 minutes for Ms. C (who was also full of scotch by that time), and she told the room that we didn't pay all that money to sit in a shitty lounge, so we were immediately ushered up to the customs people who also take our passports and check them against the flight info. Something went wrong and they gave my passport to someone else who said HE was Mr. Corona!! They called Cassandra's name, so we walked up to get both of our passports and mine is gone! Ms. C became Ms. Barracuda, and sent the agent sprinting for his life, looking for the guy he gave my passport to! Well, he came back in a few minutes with my passport...and just shrugged, smiling sheepishly...WELCOME TO MANILA!!! If it weren't for Ms. Barracuda I'd still be in that crappy lounge...maybe forever!!! Anyway, this is Ms. C in the nice lounge we were going for...
We had 3 hours to kill, so that is where the first post was uploaded...I was still too shaken to write about the almost lost passport...better have a beer...ahhhhhhhh...much better!!! So we got to Bangkok uneventfully...well, except for getting that new flight attendant almost fired, but that's no big deal...well, it was to him but it was all in fun....really!!! The Bangkok airport is really cool...
It's really big, with this exo-skeleton...I know, Mr. Corona writing "exo-skeleton" makes you laugh!...thing going on...COOL.
So we got on the BTS, like the Skytrain and headed for the hotel, and that was uneventful...well, except for that gun thing, but Mr. Corona handled that masterfully. By the time we got to the hotel, we were pretty much out of gas...well, Mr. Corona is never without gas...but I digress. Oh, crap...this is getting kind of long...so we bought some stuff, and saw some stuff...and here are some pictures!
