All is good and we are heading home - Day #7

Life lesson #7 learned today, personal space. We have all learned a lot about
personal space given that the 6 of us have basically lived on top of one another
for the past 7 days. We learned that the Koreans do not know what personal space
is and neither do my kids. We all agreed that an arms length away was good
distance when standing next to each other. Lol

Today started with a massage.  I think everyday should start this way. It was 2
hours of pure relaxing luxury. Erin and I went to this very, very nice spa. The
first hour was a complete body scrub. Let me tell you I am no longer dirty. They
scrub every inch of you with this super great smelling sandlewood spice rub. 
Erin swears the woman was an octopus because it felt like she had 8 hands. After
they scrub you they put you in the shower, wrap you in a towel and then place
you on a giant couch with honey ginger tea and watermelon. Erin and I are in the
same room and it was some major mom daughter bonding. Probably to much closeness
for her. ( Back to that personal space lesson ). After the couch you get back on
the table and they massage your entire body. It was amazing. The whole
experience was incredible.

We have a house. Yippee!  The contract was agreed to and now we are true
Thailand renters. We are happy with the house we chose. It fits

our needs the
best.  Nope we didn't get the house with the inside pool but our pool outside is
very nice. I think we will be happy there. We went back to visit it one more
time today and try to figure out what we need to bring. It is semi furnished
which is nice. We won't have to bring much. It is 4 bedroom with 4.5 bathrooms.
Our yard is very private with lots of beautiful vegetation. The pool is spacious
and it has great decking surrounding it. I will put some pictures together when
we get home once I get my blog up and running.

We had dinner tonight with a bunch of kellogg people. I finally met Dion,
Walter's boss. Nice guy, not the usual gray suit. 

It is 1 am and we are laying around the lobby waiting for our car and driver to
take us to the airport. This might be the worst part of the trip.  We are all
tired but our flight is at 6am and we have a 2 hour drive to Bangkok. I have a
feeling we will all sleep once we get on the plane. It is a 6 hour flight to
Narita, Japan, 2 hour lay over, a 15 hour flight back to MI, then a 2 hour drive
home. Makes me exhausted just thinking about it. We should be home Friday by 6.

4:00am Made it to the airport and sitting in the lounge. Didn't know if we were
going to make it here alive it was quite a white knuckle ride. Guess we need to
learn how to say slow down in Thai.

This is my last post from Thailand for now. Hope you have enjoyed them. This one
is short because I am tired. Its going to be one wild adventure living here but
I'm sure we will adjust and make the best of it.

Cheers

Hope all is well with everyone.
Miss you
Love to all

 Our ride home from the restaurant tonight. 

 

 

 We rode on the double decker airplane.  The kids were thrilled.  They invited us all into the cockpit and obviously we took advantage of the photo opportunity. 

 

Goodbye, see you back in the US!!
