So I went to sleep last night around 3:30 a.m. (6:30 p.m. Thailand Time) and woke up at 10 a.m. (1 a.m. TT). Obviously, my body, although starving, didn’t want any food at the actual noontime having been woken up “in the middle of the night” and all. Thank goodness that we made plan with Aurora and Dresden for lunch and afternoon outting. Otherwise, we would’ve come home and crashed out. And that wouldn’t be good for our readjustment to PST. Oh yeah, the melatonin pills. I will take that tonight. I know that I didn’t do the whole melatonin...

Repost from my Thai-Blogs.com entry. We finally are leaving Thailand tomorrow. Out of Suvarnabhumi, to my father’s relief. Getting up at 4 a.m. to go to Bitec check-in point for U-tapao would be torturous for the poor man. My planned 2-week vacation was extended to 19 days of bliss laced with frustration, thanks to the airport closures. However, it’s always good to be home. Things are always changing around here in the Land of Smiles. For better or worse. So here’s my best/worst list of my recent trip home. Best: Extended vacation. Worst: Brandon’s extra week of time off he...

The long weekend is winding down. So much had happened in our two weeks here in Thailand, the entire country can use a little break. Seriously, the political scenes seem to have quieted just enough to get through the weekend. The tourists can certainly use the break. Suvarnabhumi is open again. Those of us who need to go/come home now can, and those who are coming/leaving here on holiday can too. On Thursday, Brandon and I took a little bit of an early start on the long weekend by taking a day road trip with 4 of my mom’s best...

And today, we rested. I partied two nights in a row. And lost my voice. It didn’t help that I’ve been coughing since I got back from Phuket a week ago of all the sinus drainage. I sound like Demi Moore right now. Hahah. Monday with my family at my brother’s girlfriend’s bar and restaurant. 3 tables for 5 people was filled end to end with food from glass noodles Pad Thai wrapped in thin omelet, fried nuggets of pork “Larb”, to giant Lobster Thermidor the Girlfriend whipped up herself as a promise to my brother. Then there was the...

So, the PAD is leaving the airports. (Thanks Bangkok Pundit for all the info you’ve given me these 2 weeks!) The day after the “Smiling Moon”, a sign of good things to come. Hours after I have been told that we are confirmed for Monday to leave Bangkok, hell or high water, from U-tapao or Suvarnabhumi. Yes, kids. We are finally going home! That doesn’t mean I will stop blogging about the situation. It might not be live like the past few days but i will drop in as much of the news that I can going forward. However, as...

Well, as live as I can make it. I will update with any info I hear. Our situation: 12/2 – 12:30 : Waiting to hear if we are able to get on an EVA flight out of U-tapao tomorrow or not. What we got from them yesterday was a “waiting list” for the “possible flight” tomorrow and a confirmed for Dec. 8 out of Suvarnabhumi. I looked at the paper work and started laughing. Our other option which we really doesn’t want to take is to get on a bus to Kuala Lumpur then board a plane to Taipei then...
