So much for us keeping the blog up to date. Although there is not alot of news since the last post let me feel you in on the last few weeks.
After our return to Bangkok we settled into the modern Asian city life --taking the bus downtown for movies and shopping (even though we didn't really have money to buy anything), eating PadThai from the street stalls and selling off the last of our guidebooks. We did manage to squeeze in a couple more beach days a few hours outside of Bangkok. Although this island wasn't as spectacular as the paradise in the South, it was nice to wind down on the white sand one last time.
Realizing that we were actually in the last days of our trip took an emotional toll on us. We reminised about the moments in India when we were so fed up with the hassle that coming home to clean the toilet was sounding like a good prospect. What we wouldn't give to have those days back so we could do it all again. What a ride, and what an experience this has been--hard to believe that this is the end.
It's now Monday the 16th, and we landed in SLC yesterday. Let us just state for the record that the most unfriendly, unorganized and chaotic airport in all of the world is LAX. We never had delayed flights or trouble claiming our bags until we came home. We felt bad for all the foreigners who arrived with stars in their eyes at the same time we did--welcome to Los Angeles suckers.
Life back in SLC has been a bit hectic so far--dealing with a broken stove, gas leaks, and a family of racoons living in the eaves of our house. Welcome back to reality.
The plan is still to go to Canada (if we have any money left after this week), and even though our camera is officially broken at the moment--which is why there are no photos right now--we plan on updating the blog a few more times before we truly concede to real life.
Thanks for hanging in there with us this long. We hope you've enjoyed reading as much as we've loved telling it.
