Getting ready to come home

Well, here it is Thursday and we are getting packed up to come home. Eve and Kyra left yesterday and are safe and sound back at home now. Friday morning at 1am it is our turn to make the trip home.
We had a hectic few days doing last minute shopping and visiting with Eve's Mom, Dad, Nephew and cousin. Monday, Eve, Deb and I went to the night market and to Khao San road. Both are very interesting. Khao San road is only about 2 blocks long, and you can see it is still for the back packers and the old hippies. Tuesday, Eve and Deb went shopping to China Town and a few other places while I went to MBK and Siam Paragon, Tuesday evening we went out to the Good View Restaurant for supper. Another great supper with the whole family.
Wednesday early AM, Eve and Kyra were off to the airport with her family. A bit of a tearful goodbye. Eve's family sure is great and we have come to love then a lot in this very short time. Later Deb and I did a bit more shopping and the went to a movie at Siam Paragon. This is a very civilized way to go to a movie. Reserved seating and very comfortable seats. A highly recommended thing to do while in Bangkok.
Well, we are off to get a bit to eat, finish packing, then supper and later get a cab to the airport. If there is an internet connection in Beijing, I'll do a quick update from there. If not, the final update(s) may have to wait until we get back home. We're looking forward to leaving the heat and humidity of Bangkok but regretting leaving the friends and extended family behind. We really will miss them.
