Pre-Departure Day
Well this is it. Last minute preparations are ongoing and tomorrow morning I will be getting on a plane to leave the US for 5 months. How does one figure out what to take for a five month journey. Let's hope I've got it figured out, although I know full well that I should be able to get most anything I need in some form or another on the road.
The first stop on my journey is Thailand. I will be leaving from Dayton, flying to Chicago, then to Tokyo, on to Bangkok, and finally to Krabi. Talk about a long couple of days. And it will amount to almost two days. I leave on the morning of Jan 12 and arrive in Krabi on the morning of Jan 14, although Thailand is 12 hours ahead of the eastern US. Here's the schedule:
DAY-ORD - Depart 8:05, Arrive 8:34 (1 Hour, 19 Minute Flight)
ORD-NRT - Depart 12:00, Arrive 16:05 (next day-Jan 13) (13 Hour, 5 Minute Flight)
NRT-BKK - Depart 18:35, Arrive 23:45 (7 Hour, 10 Minute Flight)
BKK-NRT - Depart 8:00 (on Jan 14), Arrive 9:20 (1 Hour, 20 Minute Flight)
So its about 23 hours of scheduled flight time, 14 hours of layovers, and 1.5-2 hours at the Dayton airport prior to first flight departure. Wow, what a way to start the trip!
