Back with my tribe

From Bates' family world tour in Chiang Mai, Thailand on Apr 07 '08

The first flight was 1.5 hrs to LA, then 14.5 to Taipe, 5.5 to Bangkok and 1 hour to Chiang Mai, and I lost the 7th April over the international date line.

I got a taxi from Chiang Mai airport and went to the Blue House to see everyone. God it was so good to see them. Jonty had even shaved. I had a cry, had a hug, had a shower and then they took me to a lovely cafe for some dinner.

That night I went to bed at 9:30 with one of the kids either side of me and Jont on the mattress on the floor (ready for his 2 am alarm to watch Liverpool-Arsenal), and slept pretty solidly till 10 am the next day.

Home. Bliss.
