Trains - Planes - Automobiles and a Tuck Tuck

Now that its over I have time to count all our aircraft. We left Midway on a Southwest 737 N495WN, LAX-HKG was on Cathay Pacific 747 B-HOW, HKG-AKL on Cathay A-340 B-HXD, AKL-SYD on Air New Zealand 767 ZK-NCF, SYD-MEL-BKK on Thai 747 HS-TGY, BKK-HKG on Cathay 777 B-HKN, HKG-LAX on Cathay 747 B-HUG, and home to Midway on Southwest 737 N712SW.

In Hong Kong we had the pleasure of riding the Star Ferry, taxi's, the city bus, subway and the Peak Railway. We traveled to and from Maccau in Boeing Jet Foil's. In Auckland we took some cheep taxi's and an expensive rental car. We traveled Sydney in an open topped London Bus, taxi's, ferry boats and monorail. A train took us to and from the Blue Mountain town of Katoomba. In Bangkok we took taxi's, used the subway, toured in a longboat, and road in our famous Tuck Tuck's.

The next time I go to Bangkok I want to travel bar to bar on an Elephant. And as we know now, all things are possible in Bangkok.
