Now I sit in KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport). 24 hours ago I was watching television in South Pasadena, now I am about 8 hours from my final destination in Thailand. So far things have been interesting.
Arrival at LAX Bradley Terminal sent me straight into line 1. Line one allowed passengers a place to wait before they would be ushered over in small groups to line 2. Line 2 was nice, now everyone could see that they were really waiting for line 3, where things got more interesting. After two and a half hours I moved with my friend that I had met in line to line 3. We were 50 feet from the main door we walked in 2.5 hours ago. In line 3 we would get our boarding passes and move on to security. After that things have been relatively uneventful. Four hours of waiting and everyone finally gets on the plane and we are off.
The plane lands in Taipei. As we are getting ready to disembark two Chinese girls across the row smile and I realize they have been staring at me. When everyone stands up they ask if they can have their picture taken with me. Sure. I really wish my Chinese was better. We get off the plane go through security again, walk in a circle and get back on the plane. On to Kuala Lumpur. Where I sit now waiting for another 3 hours and 50 minutes to board my short hop to Thailand and to bed or the beach.

Bri, I'm glad the 135 lbs. of luggange that you took to LAX was not a problem for you. By now you have had your first day in Thailand and hopefully had that massage you wanted on your first day there. Hope it got all the kinks out from your long flight!
So it hit me about a half hour ago that you're not just an hour away anymore. It's crazy! But it always seemed to me you were never meant to stay in one place. Promise to keep in touch :)
