Start to finish back to Bangkok I go

So... I'm doing a pretty good job of not thinking about Friday and coming home. I think in a lot of ways I didn't know that I could do this - travel on my own and be okay. Yes, the beginning was bumpy and I didn't know what I had gotten myself into, but now I am doing great and don't want the adventure to stop. This has been an amazing growing experience for me and I am so happy with myself for doing it. Having my parents here the last few weeks has been nice. I have been the one showing them around.

Yesterday we saw the sunrise at Angkor Wat - what a beautiful experience! And 5am is the perfect time to be up in this weather by 7:30am it is HOT! I think 2 days of seeing Wat after Wat had us a little exhausted - plus the heat makes us drop so much quicker. I thought that it was funny that some things had changed in the 3 weeks since I was last here. Wooden walk ways had been put in place in some places that weren't there last time. Today we are being lazy. I think more shopping at the market is what Terry and I are up for - I'm not sure Liz likes it as much as we do. And then this afternoon we are going to a spa. I will never be able to get a facial and hour massage for under 55 dollars at home! While we are wimping out in this heat I am very happy that I'm not in the snow. I'm going to go into shock getting off the plane coming from weather that is 30+ degrees C to 30+ degrees F!

Tomorrow we head to Bangkok for our last stop before home. Liz knows a few nurses who did an exchange at the VA so we will tour around with them one of the days. Other than that I plan to soak up the last amount of sun and warm weather by the pool before getting on a plane Friday night.

Pictures will come once I get home with at least one follow up entry to my blog and maybe what I will be doing next. If you know of anyone who needs someone do to odd jobs for them I'm available for hire just as long as the job is indoors! While I'm sad to be leaving this side of the world I'm looking forward to getting together with everyone once I am home.
