A little of this, a little of that...

THis blog is going to have a lot of different topics in it... so if you get bored, don't tell me, just stop reading.

First... let me tell you about going to Thailand. It was quite the harrowing trip. First we got to the airport on the busiest day of the year. The airport was packed and lines took forever. We almost didn't even make the airport bus because all the seats were full. Luckily they found a place for us. So, we got to the airport and the ovelry pushy person who wanted us to take her kid found a way to get her on the plane so we weren't responsible for her anymore... thank goodness. But that was the one really nice thing about our trip there. Like I said, lines were long and people were plentiful. Finally we got on the plane and then came the fun. There was a lot of turbulence but the best was right before we got ready to land in Hong Kong. The turbulence was so bad that the plane dropped hard to the right and then hard to the left. It was horrible. I was never so frightened. But we landed and then took off again for Bangkok. We landed at the new airport and they didn't let us off the plane for about 30 minutes or more. Not sure why, I think they just couldn't figure out how to attach the door to the little tunnel thingy (yes, I am sure that is the technical term, hee hee). However, we got off, got transfered and then sat on the tarmac for an extra 40 minutes or so... Apparently small planes with propellers aren't allowed to take off in typhoon winds and lightening... hm... go figure. Eventually we arrived in Koh Samui only to find out that our luggage was still in Bangkok. So we had to wait all the next day in dirty drawers before we got our luggage.

Let's go to Koh Samui... that was GOOD!! The weather wasn't too hot and it was lovely. We just relaxed all the time and swam in the pool at our villa. I tried to get a massage just about everyday. I loved it!

Coming home... I realised that I am a CRANKY traveler at the end of the week. I was just tired of traveling and trying to be happy. I needed alone time. I love the people I went with, but you know how it is, you just need a little alone time. All our transfers went smoothly and we got our luggage in Seoul so things were good.

North Korea... so I am sure that you heard that they set of a nuclear bomb in a test. Isn't that lovely? Dang it! I wish all the world leaders would get their heads out of their arses and start being responsible adults instead of bratty little kids with egos that need constant stroking. Really, I am not that worried about things at this moment. South Korea has heigtened their military status in response, but other than that, I haven't noticed too many changes and no one has said anything about getting ready to leave... home they don't.

Okay... that is all that is wandering around in my brain for the moment... gotta go and finish that load of laundry and tidy up the kitchen and some of my stuff from Thailand...

Ciao!!
