Wheels up

I swear every time I travel it’s like I never have before. I’m getting pretty good at certain things – I make sure that I have a toothbrush, comfy socks, and peanut butter candy for the plane. I have a folder I use for all my confirmations and itin details. I have my travel bags sorted – big pack for everything, back pack for day trippin, and my little waist bag (ok -fanny pack) for my money and passport.

But there’s always some new system – take your belt off or leave it on.  We didn’t have to take our shoes off at JFT, but then I did because for some reason my sandals set off alarms.

My layover airport in China was full of amusingly translated signs

and shops that put Pearl River to shame.  If I’ve learned anything though, it’s that for layovers of 3 hours or more –  spring for the VIP lounge. You can shower, nap, and eat in comfort. In China, I had a wonderful nap and some steaming hot water poured over me for $50 and it was worth every penny.

I’ve arrived in Phnom Penh with enough time to nap before I head back to the airport and Siem Reap. Where the fun begins.
G’nite all!
