Through the Skies to Cambodia

Wednesday, November 28th, 6:30am: We rushed out the door of our Kona home; only 15 minutes late!
 We and our luggage are on our way to Cambodia. (6 suitcases 1 box of books, 4 carry-ons) We found out at the airport that the lady on the phone was wrong about the 70 lbs / suitcase weight limit. It was only supposed to be 50 lbs. They let us on anyway!

A one hour flight from Kona to Honolulu, Hawaii; wait less than one hour; An 11 hour flight from Honolulu to Incheon (Soeul, South Korea); about an hour's wait and a 5 hour flight down to Siem Reap, Cambodia.

We had everything done except ....  I still had about 30 NewsLetters to finish (out of about 130 in all) -- these I did sitting at the airports in Kona & Honolulu - the janitor posted them for me as we ran for the next airplane!

At Incheon Airport, I walked 20 minutes in search of comfort food, coffee + hot chocolate.
We are so excited and having a great time together!

It looks like any airport we've been to before but ... the vehicles, advertising, people are so different! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incheon_International_Airport)
We read our books and watched the movie "We Bought A Zoo" and Jackie slept in bits and starts.
Food was very good!

Arrival at Siem Reap - It feels like a sauna!
 We no longer have any idea of the time! We traveled somewhere around 25 hours!
