We are about to take our last two flights back to the good old USA! Tomorrow morning we fly from Krabi (South Thailand), have a 6 our lay-over in Bangkok and then a 15 hour flight to LA! We will be staying with Mel and Rich in LA and flying back to Portland on Wednesday.
I feel ready for home today- went for a run on the beach this morning, lazed around and ate some green curry. We are thinking about watching a movie and just hanging out for our last night here, since we have such a long day(s) of travel ahead of us. Last night there was a festival in Ao Nang- complete with fireworks and the launching of what added up to be paper bags with candles in them. I was greatly surprised that there was not a forest fire later in the night. Ang and I did launch a fire-bag and made a few wishes as it floated into the air.
This trips has provided me with some of my hardest moments in travel. There have been moments when India brought out the absolute worst in me- and I was surprised at my actions. But this trip has also furthered my ideas and knowledge of where I 'fit' in this world and I'm excited about the next chapters of my life! I learned that the world works...even if I don't understand it. I missed home the most I ever have while travelling- but also gained the most pride I ever have had about living in the United States. The entire trip was worth every hoop that we had to jump through to make it happen and travel for 3 months!
I will be posting a lot of pictures once I'm home!
Lindsay,
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely LOVED your blog and trying to experience your travel through you. You definitely have a talent with your writing and have provided so many of us with hours of entertainment. Think your next move should be writing a book.
You and Ang have a safe trip back home!
Fondly,
Linda (Aunt Lynn)
