Our Trip Home

After being away for almost 2 weeks, we decided it would be better for the kids if I flew back first. We didn't want the kids to be too stressed out anymore as the drive back would be equally as long for them. We also didn't want them to get a phobia of road travel in future.

So it was Air Asia for us from Chieng Mai. You all know what the Air Asia tagline is right? "Everyone Can Wait" and that is exactly what we did. The flight was delayed by 2 hours because one of the crew got into an accident so they had to find a replacement and that took the extra 2 hours. The flight from KL was supposed to arrive at 10am and our flight to leave at 11am but instead we left at 1pm.

If that was not bad enough, upon arrival at LCCT we had to walk so far to the terminal. With Ali and the extra bags I had to carry, that walk seemed to last forever! Keeping to promise of everyone can wait, we had to wait ONE HOUR for our bags!

Najihah got really bored wondering when that carousel would move!

Some of the souvenirs we picked up in Chieng Mai. This is a bottle cover made by the local tribes.

This hats we picked up are really cool. We bought this in Pai. It is made by the hilltribes.

Ali liked this one! Najihah calls it the witches' hat.

It took us a week to get to Chieng Mai and 3 hours to come home. Bob is still driving around. He went up to Tha Ton when we left and I think he is planning to go to Chieng Rai and maybe as far as Laos. Will keep you posted!
