We got settled in our hotel room at about 2:30, and I promptly fell asleep. Amazingly, I didn't sleep forever. I got maybe 5 hours of sleep. At about 8 AM, we went to get breakfast. The food they had was amazing. My grandma and I got pictures. Our hotel was directly on the river. After that, we waited around 'till 11 and we went on a bus to get to Laem Chabang, where we would board the cruise. After a tiring 2 hour drive with no air conditioning (and Thailand is EXTREMELEY HUMID), we got there.
We had a confusing check in, but we finally got on the ship.
Two Fridays ago, we got upgraded to a full suite on the ship. It was much larger then the mini-suite. I'm going to post something about the amenities provided later.
So, we got somewhat settled. After that, my grandma and I went down to the library (of course), and I did the paperback book exchange and got a book I have been wanting to read (yay!). We checked out the teen club, and amazingly, there are 5 other teens onboard, but only one other registered last time I saw.
We had a tasty dinner after that. I had beef medallions (Yum!). After that, I set my grandma up on the internet and went to bed. I was exausted.
Thursday is next!)

The LONG airplane ride.
WOW. I have a lot of ground to cover. Let's start with the flight.
After relaxing in the San Francisco airport, my grandparents and I got on our plane. There was a screen in front of each seat, so everyone had their own system. After taking off, I immediately looked through the movies. There were some pretty new movies like Avatar. The second I saw that they had "The Lovely Bones", I started watching. I read the book, and loved it. I watched about 30 minutes of it. The movie didn't move along at all. I was bored out of my mind. So I stopped watching it. I can't remember exact order, but these are the movies I watched:
1. The Invention of Lying (I watched all. I don't think the movie itself was as funny as different signs like- "Pepsi- When they don't have Coke")
2. Couple's Retreat (Eh. Pretty good movie. Not great.)
3. Avatar (I've never seen it, but I didn't watch all of it. I will probably watch it more thuroughly when I get home.)
4. The Notebook (My favorite movie that I watched. By the end, I was crying of course.)
I listened to quite a bit music as well, especially when I was reading.
The food was okay, but the service on Cathay Airlines was terrible. I only got out of my seat once in the 14 hour flight, so I was quite sore by the time we got to Hong Kong.
Once we got to the HK International Airport, we had a bit of time before we had to get on our flight to Bangkok. I laughed when I saw that in a store there, a bag of M and M's cost 11.50 Hong Kong dollars.
I slept through the 2 and a half hour flight to Bangkok. Once we got there, we met with the tour guide. In the airport, there was a man who had passed out. There were people trying to do CPR, but the next day we heard that he had passed away.
Bangkok is coming in the next post!
