The home straight

Checking in... we had to get suitcases for all the presents

It all started with a flight from Inle Lake to Yangon (via Mandalay), followed by Yangon to Bangkok, Bangkok to Sydney, then finally Sydney to Auckland. A decent trip home that’s for sure. Followed by a nice dose of jetlag (which I seem to suffer from on any long haul flight). 

There was a crazy amount of people taking photos on the Yangon to Bangkok flight, it was really weird. Cameras and video camera all round. 

On the way to Bangkok airport

In Bangkok I got sick, so that was a great way to start the journey home. In fact I am only just coming right now. A week after being home. It meant for a non eventful last meal in Asia.

Spike and I were on different flights to Sydney, but I managed to get mine changed, which was nice. I also got a first class meal because they lady changing the tickets didn’t change my meal over to vegetarian. It was awesome!

It felt weird to be coming home, more like any other long flight. Packing up piles of things and a little nervous. Nothing different really. I guess it just doesn’t sink in. And now we are home it feels like we haven’t even really been away. Nothing changes much here.
