Oh my goodness…that is one (well 2 actually) long flights!!!!! Glad to be off the plane…managed a couple hours max (if you added it all up) sleep on that second leg….so looking forward to some rest before we get back on plane tomorrow morning to fly to Chiang Mai.

The bed is classic rock hard….so no surprise there : )

Anyway…it is 12:48am Bangkok time….and I have been up (for the most part) for over 28 hours…so won’t be too long with this entry…just wanted to make sure our kids and our parents know we are here!!

We are staying at the Thong Ta Resort…and for $28 per night…it is pretty good deal! They have shuttle to and from airport and breakfast is included….so all in all pretty good.

Not sure why the towels folded into elephants still tickles my fancy but it does : )))

This is the view from our balcony this morning!

The breakfast room/restaurant had the cutest garden with a tonne of clay garden gnomes!

Well…we made it to Tokyo…30 minutes early! It is 2:28 pm on Saturday here! Didn’t sleep on the flight…so might regret that! Watched 4 movies though : )

Food tolerable on the plane…flying JAL this time….

Jackie…did grandpa tell you? I could not find pooh this morning…so i had to bring piglet! I think he is enjoying his first big trip though…I will put the pictures up as soon as I can.

We have a 4 hour layover here….not the best connection we have had, but also certainly not the worst! The first year we did this we had a 10 hour layover!!

Will be spending the night in Bangkok when we get there…will update when we land!

Currently heading north!

Caught the St. Amand shuttle to at 7am (thanks Am!!) and then got on the Quick Shuttle from Tulalip to Vancouver…where we catch our flight.

This shuttle to Vancouver has wifi! So I can keep playing words until the very last minute
; ))
Awesome possum!!
If only it had a coffee pot!

To my children….here are the bears on the shuttle! You will have to turn your head to look at these until I figure out how to rotate the pictures….hahaa!

….and I did leave without my laptop…so we will see how that goes ; )

Stay tuned….

Hi loyal followers! If you are reading this, then I have found a way (even if it is crude and limited) to blog with only my iPad.

DH has issued a challenge this year….that I try to travel without my laptop. AAAAHHHH! Not sure about this, but am going to test out blogging before I leave to make sure it works ok! Don’t like change don’t like change ; ))

So we are heading out early early Friday morning….thanks in advance to the St. Amands for the early bird ride to Tulalip to catch the shuttle to the vancouver airport.

And to answer the burning question about whether we are ready to go….the answer is “no”…but I will be ; ))
