Bangkok, Leaving for LA

20 December 2007

Just a quick update, as we have been so busy for the past 6 days here in Bangkok...

We departed Ubon on Friday, 14 Dec, and returned to the Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok.

Travel by Thai Air was much more comfortable than Air Asia, but our reservations were horribly mangled (more on this in a later post).

Montira was so kind to show us around on the weekend...we visited 3 of Bangkok's most important Wats on Saturday (we know...they're all important), and also the Grand Palace. We got a chance to travel by SkyTrain, as well as Bangkok Express Boat. We have loads of photos, and will post some to this blog, and many others to picasaweb.

We had some wonderful, fantastic meals. We took pictures of everything, and will post those within a few days.

Today, we depart Bangkok for Los Angeles. This has been an incredible trip...we visited many family members, made memorial visits to family gravesites, and attended to typical touristy things like sightseeing and shopping. Today, we got not-quite-matching pedicures and manicures.

We have a late-checkout from the Ambassador, and will be checking out in 2 and 1/2 hours. We'll be back on-line in 2 days or so. Until then, "keep on traveling!"
