Its hard to believe that we are actually in Thailand!
The flights went good, and D & T did so well. Andrew got pretty fussy and stir crazy, but I expected that! Asiana Airlines is so courteous, and I would highly recommend them. The stewardesses take their job seriously, and are constantly ready to serve you. The first flight was 11 hours long from Seattle to South Korea. Our 55 min. layover in Seoul was cut short, and we got to our next flight in the nick of time. This flight to Bangkok was 6 hours long. Andrew burst into tears when he realized we were heading to another airplane seat! So I sat down feeling very stressed. But this flight was full of friendly Asians who enjoyed him. People behind me started clapping at A, talking to him, and taking his picture. I just had to laugh! My nice private life has ended... Often during the flight I looked up to see someone standing in the aisle or behind us, watching us curiously! One lady looked at A and just started laughing and laughing. Maybe its the red hair? Or maybe it was me... : /
Seriously, that is one area I am praying for grace in. I am someone who likes my space, and to have people watching me constantly, and trying to "help" me, is very hard. The Thai people love to help and serve you. May God help me to not be a proud American who thinks my way is best, simply because its my way.
We spent the night in a hotel in Bangkok, and got some horizontal, which felt so good! I was so glad the children slept too. Flew to Chiang Mai this morning, and got our temporary house. It is alot nicer than I expected. Went to Big C (Walmart/mall type of store) for lunch and a few necessities. It is quite hot and the children are ready to hit the pool! :)
Well, think I will go nap with the children. Much love to you, my family & friends! I miss you so much already.
