We just got back from our few days of relaxing in the sun in Kauai. It was great to enjoy some down time and easing into the idea of not working for 3 weeks. We left Kauai on a red eye last night at 11pm Hawaii time and got back into Oakland at 9:40am this morning. Not the most comfortable flight (and I'm not sure we'll ever fly US Airways again!) but we survived.
Now we're doing some quick laundry and repacking before heading back to the airport tonight. Our flight takes off at 12:05pm PST and arrives in Taipei 14 hours later. We then have a 2 1/2 hour layover and then we arrive in Bangkok at 11:35am Bangkok time Sunday morning. Talk about the weekend flying by!
We're looking forward to playing some bananagrams and stuffing ourselves with junk food on the plane ride. Hopefully I wont be in too much pain with my back!
Once we land in Bangkok Andrew's brother will meet us at the airport and takes us to the hotel his parents are staying at (The Buddy Lodge) to take a quick nap and shower before the night bus adventure. We'll be taking an 8 hour overnight bus from Bangkok to Mae Sot (where Andrew's brother and sister-in-law are living and teaching) Sunday night.
Hopefully there will be no delays with BART, the two airplanes, the taxi ride in Bangkok and the overnight bus! We'll update you on if everything worked as planned in a few days.
P.S. The Thais are currently protesting in Bangkok (hopefully it wont affect us too badly with getting into Bangkok after our flight)
