\"day01_01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And we are off!! With a server at home, plus two laptops and two cellphones and a tablet on this trip, we should be covered for all our technological needs!<\/p>\n

\"day01_02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was verrry early at the bus stop. Our driver is behind MJ loading our bike cases into the bus. They are surprisingly easy to move.<\/p>\n

\"day01_03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An otherwise tedious bus ride was brightened by this early morning disco laser show and accompanying music. We were waiting for John Travolta to make a surprise entrance!!!!<\/p>\n

\"day01_04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a two and half hour bus ride, we were at O’Hare. Soon we would be on this big rig. Watching for our bikes to be loaded.<\/p>\n

\"day01_05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Korean Air is a classy airline, including “refreshing towels” as a nice touch!<\/p>\n

\"day01_06\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rick dove right in with an Asian inspired lunch.<\/p>\n

\"day01_07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . including a tube of spicy hot sauce, enough\u00a0 to last the whole trip!<\/p>\n

\"day01_08\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A short 14 hours later, we found ourselves in the beautiful\u00a0 Incheon airport just outside of Seoul, South Korea.<\/p>\n

\"day01_09\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A young lady representing the 5G company took this photo of us by their corporate mascot.\u00a0 Here Kitty Kitty Kitty! I think we will be having nightmares now.<\/p>\n

\"day01_10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MJ enjoys the holiday decorations, complete with snow, birch trees and tepees. Think they might be catering to western tourists, eh?<\/p>\n

\"day01_11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A white tail deer seems to dwarf the reindeer (caribou) in size. Now is that right?!<\/p>\n

\"day01_12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Past the giant cat and holiday decorations, we headed up to the Incheon Airport Transfer Lounge to relax as we waited for our final flight to Bangkok.<\/p>\n

\"day01_13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It offered many amenities, including this quiet nap zone with individual settees with charging stations and muted lighting.<\/p>\n

\"day01_14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the livelier western travelers,\u00a0 please feel right at home with a Blue Moon pale ale!<\/p>\n

\"day01_15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After 30 plus hours of travel, MJ wheels her bike box and luggage up to our room at the Novetel Hotel in Bangkok.<\/p>\n

Finally, sleep in a real bed with pillows! Ahhh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
