Our flight from Pho Quok was uneventful. We had a 3 hour stop over in the smoggy city of Hoi Chi Ming City. We spent it reading books. On our 1 hour flight to Bangkok we attempted to play a game using small pieces, and decided it was a bad idea once we had lost 2 pieces under the chair. (Fortunately we found them before we left the plane). We also played Monopoly Deal, which was easier to play on the food trays, and we didn't lose any cards.
In Bangkok, our resort had a shuttle, so we were anticipating VIP service. We walked out to no name on a board or smiling faces. As we looked around wondering if we should just take a cab, a helpful tour guide for another company said to go to the next meeting place 200 meters down. In fact there were 4 meeting places. We found our resort and driver at the last one.
Our resort is called the Floral Shire Resort; a fitting name to end our trip. We both feel we are coming back to "the Shire". No, we don't have a ring to bind us, but we will magically appear in Vancouver tomorrow. Having been gone for over 3 weeks, we feel like we've been in another world, lived an adventure not unlike Frodo's.
We are back in Vancouver and happy to be here!
