I'm Here

Arrived in Bangkok last night, Dean and Rachel meet me at the airport. I snuck up on them as they were searching the wrong gate cause i needed to walk to the meeting place in the airport. The airplane was good, i liked my seats on the 11 hour flight to Seoul, but the 5 hour flight to Bangkok was okay but i hurt my neck as i slept and forgot the neck pillow. The guy beside me was a spending machine by purchasing on the Sky shop - Duty free items to purchase on the plane. The heat is hot, very humid. Woke up very early with my neck sore, i really need to get used to this, no contour pillow. Finally Dean and Rachel awake and we go for breakfast. We have a American breakfast - eggs bacon and toast. Dean tells me it's a good breakfast for Thailand as most places can't do eggs or the toast is white and dry. I just got out cash and amazed at the amount that my bank account shows.

Dean tells me it's my day....a day that i call the shots of what to do. Well the shopping list is huge, Mom your purse is too small, i can't hold everything i want. I need a dress/saragon cause i want out of these shorts already and it's not even 11:30am yet.

We are staying on Khao San Road which is a hum of vendors...i thought it was busy last night i was wrong there are so many people, so many smells, can't walk a block with a new smell, food vendors, cd vendors, lots of bank atm's, taxi's and tuk tuks.
Constant people asking to take you somewhere or to give you a piece of paper/advertisement.

So today i think, we are going for a massage, trying to get my shopping list done and whatever else hits our fancy.

Sunday night we start our train journey to Chaing Mai.

Well that's it for now, post later.

D-Day 1

ahhh, i'm so excited. Last evening at my duplex before the trip. Doing last minute stuff now, like taking a hot bath, painting toenails and vacuuming bedroom floor, cleaning kittylitter. You know important stuff.

D-Day 2

OMG, can't believe it, one more full day till i leave on a jetplane. I'm nervous but excited. Feel like my to do list is a mile long but it's really not. I took the rainjacket that i decided on, to the roughriders game on Sunday and it rained so i needed to use it but i couldn't zip it up. Upon examination the zipper is worn out and i can't zip it and to get it fixed is not worth the jacket and i don't have enough time. so i'm taking the blue rain poncho plus a dollarstore poncho with a carrying case. Thanks Jay, wonder how it will work. Oh my, cause of the anxiety i am having a constant headache now since this afternoon. It did subside for a while but it's creeping in again. Time to cross more of the to-do list cause i don't have much time left and then the headache should lessen too.

Later

Decision made

I'm taking the green rainjacket, it rolls up nice and more protection from the rain. 4 more days...omg i'm so excited. Ipod is ready but i have 1.6GB of space left...any recommendations for more music to download?
