We Made It!

This was such a long flight and if you couple it with not be able to take anything to relax, it made it even longer.
We left Seattle on Tuesday the 16th at 12:40p.m. Abbey and I woke up at 6 ... because that's what we do. We got to the airport at 9:30a.m., I was worried it would take awhile because of taking Abbey with me. We were done within 20 minutes of arrival. Nice. :) I was also worried they wouldn't accept my bags as all four weighed over the 50 lb limit. Scored again!
Whatever didn't fit in my four large suitcases made it's way into my duffle, I think it weighed nearly 60 lbs. I couldn't pick it up and put it on my back so I drug it to the gate.

Our first flight was 12 hours then we had an hour layover in Seoul which wasn't enough. Here I am waiting in a long line with about 200 people, some in the same situation. I had 15 minutes to get through and to my gate. If it wasn't for the help of a nice young man I wouldn't have made my flight. He asked one of the cart drivers to take me to my gate. I ran down the gateway to the plane with the stewardesses telling me to hurry. One came and helped me carry the bag. On to Chiang Mai.

This flight was 5 hours. Abbey was very anxious during this flight so I went to the bathroom and just held her for an hour. They wouldn't let me bring her out so this was the next best thing.

When we got to Chiang Mai, another long wait to have the Thai check our visa's and passports. We finally made it back to our new home and crawled into bed about 1:30 a.m.

HOME SWEET HOME

This is our new home for the next two years. It's bigger than we need.

This is the kitchen area. We do have a fridge and stove but I didn't take photo's of them yet but I will.  All our meals are included so I won't do much cooking. :)

Here's what you've been waiting to see ... the lovely bed that was calling my name. I pulled out the quilt the quilters made for me/us and put it on the bed. Don't mind the other things and Abbey who is scratching herself.

That's it for now. I only slept maybe 3 hours our first night here so pray I can settle into the time change and Abbey can as well.
