Well, Caleb and I made it to Bangkok last night at 11:40 and got back to our hotel sometime around 1:30 am. Noi and I had a difficult time sleeping last night, but we were up early to start working on the wedding license adventure. Well, to simplify things...I should have made an appointment with the embassy before coming to Thailand. However, this too shall pass in the end...we were told to go back to the embassy at 8 am to see if they could see us to fill out our paperwork (a simple piece of paper...you would think it would write itself...hehe). Anyway, I'm not going to a little speedbump ruin things.
Our hotel here in Bangkok is actually pretty nice. We are on the top floor of a 5 story hotel with the workout room (which I most likely won't use here) and a lounge area just down the hall from us. I think there may even be a suana up here a few doors down. I heard Caleb in and out of his room last night, but I didn't get any calls from the police or knocks on my door at 1:00 am telling me that he had done something teenager-ish. I do know that he went to the store around the corner because he couldn't stomach the airplane food (don't really blame him, actually).
I don't have many pictures yet. I guess I will try to get some later today, but today is a paperwork day for the most part. Caleb will be exploring Bangkok a little bit while we are gone (or he will be sleeping, one of the two). He is using one of my older cameras because his friends want pictures to prove he is here (I guess). Anyway, he was impressed with the pink and blue and orange and other multiple colored taxi cabs at the airport and with how big the airport is. Yes, the Bangkok airport is pretty huge, but maybe not as huge as some of the U.S. airports I've been through, and it's definitely not as crazy as one like Chicago O'Hare or Denver.
Well, that's all I have to write at the moment...We will go out again soon for attempt 2 at the US Embassy. I hope you all are doing wonderfully.
