Travel...and More Travel

It was definitely a long day(s) of travel, but I am happy to say all went well. I whisked through check in  -- no line, how did that happen? -- and security thanks to pre-check and Ivy my wheelchair assistant. I know, I know, a wheelchair was really overkill, but not knowing how far I had to walk to the gate, it was nice to have. I was not a total slug because when my flight was delayed two and a half hours I made a trip to the restroom and to the food court for some dinner. Thankfully i had a five hour layover in Istanbul so was in no danger of missing my connection. 
In Istanbul i was again met by a wheel chair attendant...with a difference! These are electric and the attendant rides on the back. Carryon luggage can fit on the chair, and larger pieces are towed behind.
​

Those were the  coolest wheel chairs! Sadly my ride was just up the jet way. After that I was herded on to an electric cart (twice actually) for the very long trip through the Istanbul Airport to my connecting gate. That is one huge airport so I was very thankful for the assistance.

This was not the kind of cart I used  but thought it was cute.
​

Just nine more hours of flying time to Bangkok! The flights were fine, legroom was tight, the food was meh, but I am a picky eater so ymmv. I slept an hour here and there and was happy when we arrived early. I did find the camera that showed the ground pretty interesting as well as the prayer timer for the Muslim passengers.
​

My wheelchair assistant in Bangkok got me through immigration with no waiting, retrieved my luggage, took me to an ATM, found my driver, AND wheeled me through the parking garage to the car. Another very big airport so all that walking would have taken me forever. Very thankful for the help!
Four hours later, including a potty and lunch stop at McDonalds, I arrived at Juniper Tree.

Bad photos of some sights on the way from the airport.
