On the "road" again

4/4/09 Here in the Novotel Hotel, Bangkok Airport, awaiting the start (tomorrow morning, in the lobby, at 4;30 am) of our flight into the mountain kingdom of Bhutan. Travel clue for followers: bring/use insect repellents (DEET (diethylmetatoluamide) is best), if you intend to dine here, because the mosquitoes who have managed to get into this grand hotel are hungry. Fortunately, we always pack DEET. Nevertheless, we were assured that malaria (aka mosquito) is not a problem in Bhutan at this time; BUT, if you go through Bangkok (BKK) bring your DEET!

Killed three mosquitos today and missed one at dinner this evening who was attacking our wine bottle.
