It has been a crazy 10 days! Can you believe it's really been that long since I left Thailand? I sure can't! I miss it like crazy!!! But my last day in Thailand was awesome!!!

We went out to lunch as a SCPT team. Had some real Thai food which was awesome. My wonderful friends traveled around the city with me as I did last minute shopping, found my Thai tea, and mango with sticky rice! YUM YUM YUM!!!! We however failed to find my bug :( ( I guess this means I HAVE to go back!) Then we went back to hang out and wait for my ride. It was SO much fun. Several other members of the SCPT showed up with mango and sticky rice and we played telephone pictionary. And if you've never played... well you need to!

Mr. Poo arrived and it was time for me to say goodbye. It wasn't pretty lol but I finally sat in the van on my way to the airport. God has a great sense of humor as well... my trip to the airport included Thai karoke... I couldn't stop laughing. It was perfect!

At the airport I was meet with the shock of my life. I knew I was going to have to pay extra for my bags as I was traveling to Europe and not the US. I figured you know an extra $60 or something would be okay and I'd survive.... boy was I WRONG. When I first put my bags on the scale the number didn't surprise me... I thought I was only 4 kilo's over what the lady in London had told me....no it was really 14 kilo's over...and they were going to charge me for each kilo. $600 to get my stuff to Holland!?! I sat in the Bangkok airport moving my stuff around, several times! I finally ended up with all of my jeans and shorts in my purse, my pillow full of socks and my backpack crammed full of 'stuff' and still ended up paying WAY more then I wanted to. But, alas, all of my stuff and I arrived in Holland.

I've had some trouble adjusting to the time change, but I am having a blast hanging out with the Stephensons. I LOVE being Auntie Joy!!!
