Hello Home For The Next Month!

We were up pretty early (7:00am) but hey we have had a lot worse! We checked out and said goodbye to Phuket. This driver took a MUCH better road and I did not feel carsick at all which was great!

There was a HUGE line to get into the airport. Before even entering the check in area you had to scan your bags and go through a metal detector and there were two lines for the entire airport. Luckily we made it through with no problems and checked in. This time we were only THREE kilos over..woo hoo! Getting lighter by the day!

The airport was very old and confusing because there were TWO flights at the same gate. Luckily we got on the bus to take us to the airplane going to Chiang Mai and not Bangkok, but I have no idea why they double booked a gate! The flight was fine and we were picked up by the hotel when we landed in Chiang Mai.

The hotel is VERY modern but it’s really VERY nice. We were all STARVING and there is a Pizza Hut literally right next store (I LOVE it) so we stopped there for lunch!

We came back because we were ALL exhausted and Lorna and I took a WELL needed nap! My mom could NOT fall asleep but I did hear her take a shower so I was happy about that! She woke us up at 5:30pm and Lorna and I couldn’t believe we had slept that long!

We headed out to the Sunday Night Market and stopped for dinner on the way. We weren’t in a very busy area so we stopped at one of the first restaurants we saw. We also had a map that said this restaurant had western food (a plus!). However, we were ALL disappointed! The highlight was that a transvestite waited on us. We all got breakfast (pancakes and French toast) and it was really just gross. We vow (from now on) to RESEARCH before we leave for dinner.

We ended up at the Sunday night market and it was PACKED. There were so many people that you could barely move. We couldn’t even wake at our own pace but rather just moving as the crowd moved. We didn’t really see anything we liked and I don’t think we enjoyed the crowds so we decided to head back to the hotel!

Hugs and kisses from my home for the next month!
