Last Thursday, we embarked
on a lengthy series of flights. Final
destination: Christmas in Minneapolis!
A brief flight brought us
back to Yangon, where we revisited our favorite restaurant (999 Shan Noodles) and bar (the Strand). We also discovered a beautiful new pagoda with an absolutely massive
reclining Buddha.
The following day, we arrived back in Bangkok for a stopover of less than 12 hours prior to the longest series of flights. We didn’t have time for many adventures, except for accidentally having dinner at some sort of Thai version of Hooters.
On Saturday, 22+ hours of
flights brought us all the way to Minnesota.
(Despite the lengthy flights, we managed to arrive in the US not long
after our original takeoff time in Bangkok -- the international dateline continues
to boggle our mind!)
In Seattle, we may have started to hallucinate. Regardless, we began to
get into the Christmas spirit when Rudolph joined us in the Delta lounge.
Here in Minnesota, we’re enjoying time with
the family as we decorate the Christmas tree, cook Christmas dinner, and sing
Christmas carols at the annual holiday party.
We retrace most our route back to
Bangkok tomorrow. We will celebrate the New Year before anyone else in the northern
city of Chiang Mai, Thailand!
