OMG, we made it but it was a real ordeal. More later.
If you have to travel 18 hours on a plane, this is not a bad way to go. 3 full meals during the flight, on-demand movies and tv shows in every seat, and each seat is also a recliner with leg rest. I’ve had 4 hour flights that seemed longer then this one.
Hour 11, at LAX, trying for the next flight. 17 minutes left.

On the plane for LA. We still feel confident that we’ll make our connecting flight.
It was almost a cancelled flight, so I’m glad it is only a delay now. There were technical issues with the plane, so they finally found us a new plane and we leave at 7:55pm now (instead of 5:15). The only issue now is that we only have about 40 minutes once we get to LA to catch our connecting flight to Bangkok! If we miss that one, we’ll be in LA for 24 hours since that is a once a day flight.
So, we’re hoping that the flight does not leave any later then 7:55pm at this point.
With any luck, the next time I post I’ll actually be there. The only way I’ll have time to post in LA is if we miss our flight.
The first of 3 flights starts shortly (we hope anyway, we’re in a delay at the moment). From Chicago we fly to LA and have a 3 hour stay at the airport. From there we fly to Bangkok and have a 1 hour stay in Bangkok. And from there we fly to Chang Mai (I might be spelling that wrong). I’ll photos later, for now it’s a bit of a pain to break out all of the cables and the camera. I forgot to make the memory stick reader easier to access.
I’m traveling with 4 other people on this trip. 2 cameramen, and and 2 producers. We have 19 checked bags total (plus 1 carry on each).
