Back on track

Back on track
So, again I'm off on my travels to Eastern Asia (and this time the
Pacific, I promise). After a rather uneventful coach ride from
Birmingham to London, I found my first spot of adventure onbaord my
flight to Bangkok.
After waiting in the departures lounge for several hours, I boarded my
Boeing 747. Just as the pilot charged the engines and prepared to take
off, he disengaged the engines and informed us that a fuel pump had
failed. We had to head back to the Terminal to take onboard another 10
tonnes of fuel. We were additionally informed however, that this isn't
a major problem, as this aeroplane has 20 fuel pumps in total and the
extra fuel was just precautionary.
So the time is 00:30 in England and the storm clouds that have been
hovering above our country for the last few days have given our plane
a very, very good shake.
We seem to have weathered the storm however and are now cruising, en
route to Bangkok.
The flight is expected to arrive at 17:30 Bangkok time (11:30 GMT),
so I'll be staying the night in Thailand's great capital again.
Here's a brief summary of my proposed itinerary, which will no doubt
be altered sooner than later:
6/9/08 - Flight to Bangkok
7/9/08 - Arrive in BKK and stay the night
8/9/09 - Head to the south on the Songserm coach and boat service (a
grueling 17 hour trip)
9/9/08 - Arrive in Koh Phangan
23/9/08 - Head to Kuala Lumpur, Malsysia, on some (yet to be booked)
form of transport
24/9/08 - Arrive in KL and stay the night
25/9/08 - Head to Singapore; again, on some (yet to be booked) form of
transport
26/9/08 - Arrive in Singapore and stay the night
27/9/08 - Board an aeroplane to Brisbane, Australia
28/9/08 - Arrive in Brisbane, find Danny and then...
Some time near X-Mas - Head back to KP, Thailand for celebrations
Some time after X-Mas - Head back to Australia

Expect some serious deviations from this, especially surrounding the
Christmas plans, as they are subject to ample financial backing from
working in Brisbane, Australia.

A good start so far. Our national football team won 2-0, I'm back on
track with my trip and dinner is about to be served.
