Bangkok
Almost home! Some heat at last and the chance to wear our teeshirts.
We only had a couple of days in Bangkok. A couple of massages, some
shopping, some temples, some very spicy Thai food and a long wait
at the airport. Michael was so anxious to get home that he insisted
we go to the airport at 2:00pm even though our flight didn't leave
until midnight! We were both really looking forward to seeing Jendi
and Jangles again.
