The trip to Bangkok was a bit delayed. We found ourselves in Bangkok airport, in a long line, on the wrong side of the airport, with forty minutes until takeoff.
We crawled through the line, got our tickets situated in a leisurely fashion, and finally bolted toward our gate.
After an epic marathon without shuttles or moving sidewalks we reached our security checkpoint. Naturally, the keys in my bag looked suspicious so they needed to search my
bag. We had minutes.
After a few of those exaggerated moments that feel like forever, we made it through.
We made it on the plane roughly five minutes before the doors closed. We had a nice five to ten minute wait before actual takeoff, of course.
The main source of in-flight entertainment was my magnetic headphones. They attracted rather than repelled each other. I can't believe I wasted an hour actually listening to them.
Our layover in Taipei was mercifully short. Soon we were on the last plane. When we landed and everyone scrambled for their carry-ons without waiting for the seatbelt light to go off we knew we were home.
We joined the fray and soon enough we made it back to Songtan. Scattered trees and flowers hinted at spring. We picked the right time to come back.

excellent job recapping what happened over your trip. I loved it ... made me want to go back to India even more!
peace.
Hopefully we can go back next year. We're working on that.
