Thailand Vacation (Day 1)

We are back from our vacation. In order to
tell all about our wonderful time away I must break our trip into separate parts, so I don't overwhelm you all with a really long story. We will break it up into different days, starting with Day 1 of course.
Last Monday morning Latanya and I woke up at around 7:30am. It was not too hard waking up because we normally get up for school at around 8:00am anyways. We got up and got ready. We made the necessary last minute packing arrangements such as toiletries and things of that nature. We headed over to the Family Mart to get some breakfast and headed towards our bus stop. We got to the bus stop at around 8:30am and waited until 8:50am for the bus. The bus stop was in the district next to ours, Pyeongnae. It was about a 15 minute walk or so to it. Latanya began to realize how heavy her backpack really was. In fact the night before when I had fallen asleep she had snuck some heavier items into my bag without my knowing. Pretty sneaky huh? Well to my surprise the next morning when I discovered them. Needless to say as any good husband would do, I told here that this was quite clever and held here extra things for her anyways. How nice, right?
The bus we were waiting for was an airport shuttle bus with very few stops in between. It was a better alternative to the subway, which may have taken a lot longer. This way we would make it to the airport with in two hours. Mind you, we live to the east of Seoul and the airport is 45 minutes west of Seoul. Driving through an area of 10 million people is bound to take a little while. We were ecstatic about the convenience of the bus station to our house. It was much easier than any other root and way cheaper than a cab. The bus finally arrived and we made our way to catch our plane.
We arrived at Incheon International Airport at about 11:00am. Our flight was at 1:00pm, so we were right on time for our two hour cushion before hand. The Seoul airport is very clean and really nice. It was actually recently named the world's best airport for the second time. It's relatively new with ease of access to all it's amenities. We went through the necessary security and all and eventually caught our first flight to Beijing, China.
When we arrived in Beijing it was around 2:00pm, local time. Beijing's airport was also relatively new, at least since the Olympics. We arrived and had to go through more security and immigration. Part of the security took an infrared scan of your body to see if you had a fever which could lead to swine flu. We later discovered that Bangkok's airport had the same as well as Seoul on our return. Our layover in Beijing was for about 5 hours or so. We had a lot of time to do nothing. We played some Uno, and Latanya was schooling me. She had a perfect game and everything. I tend to own her in Korea so I was willing to let her redeem herself even for a little bit. We had some Chinese beer which was just as bad as Korea's. Before we knew it, it was time to hop on our next flight.
We took off around 7:00pm and landed in Bangkok, Thailand just before midnight, local time. We had yet another layover, this time for 6 hours. It was a domestic flight and we had to wait in limbo for the domestic part of the airport to open at 5:00am. We looked for different places to sit. But because we were between the international gates and domestic, there was not a common sitting area. We looked through all the shops but we were starting to get really tired and bored. We finally stumbled upon the promise land of chairs. There was a glowing light that shinned onto a secret area where employees would sleep. We laid down to catch a few z's while we waited. I fell fast asleep, Latanya on the other hand had trouble. Actually as soon as she did dose off I accidentally woke her up, I had a waken in a panic because I thought my hat was stolen. Oops. My hat was under the bench of chairs directly under my head. Sorry Latanya was definitely in order. After another hour of sleep, for me anyways, we headed down to the domestic terminal. We got on our flight and left at 6:00am. We arrived in Ko Samui, Thailand at 7:00am almost 24 hours from when we woke up the previous day.
