We had a jaunt (11 hours) from LA to Tokyo in a 747 with 10 seats across (3 - 4 - 3). In Tokyo we saw only the airport (and bathrooms!!) as we had to disembark from the plane while they cleaned and moved it to another gate. We re-boarded and flew from Tokyo to Singapore (7 hours). We arrived in Singapore at approximately 1:30 am and got "day use" rooms where we were able to sleep for a few hours and shower. Then we walked through the Singapore airport which is really a HUGE shopping mall and boarded our plane (Airbus 330) with the typical 4 seats across (2 - 2) to Kathmandu (4 1/2 hours).
Sailed through customs (actually didn't even go through it and no one told us to!!). Outside there were numerous people covered with red dye (and other assorted colors) but no one was throwing it there, praise God! At first we didn't see Steve and Becky as we had landed early but they found us and we loaded 10 people (in addition to the two of them and a driver) AND our luggage (LOTS of luggage) onto a 12 passenger van. It was a site!!
Arrived (with ALL luggage) at the Goshen House where there are 14 guests with two bathrooms - should be fun! We relaxed, got settled and then went out to dinner with Steve and Becky Thorson (missionaries to Nepal) and all ate mo mos. We have steamed buff mo mos and fried chicken mo mos between all of us and then ice cream!!
Back to the guest house to crash!
