This was the longest trip ever! Toronto to Vancouver: easy flight, but if you wanted headphones, movie or food, you had to buy it - credit only - we didn't.
Arrived in Vancouver at 9:00am their time (1:00pm our time). 4 hour wait in Vancouver airport: very pleasant. We walked around, played cards and had Timmies lunch (apparently THIS was our last Timmies).
Flight from Vancouver to Shanghai: soooo long - 12 hours. We left at 1:20pm Vancouver time Sunday afternoon. I have no idea what happened to time while we were in the air. But we were able to sleep for a couple of hours. Shanghai airport was very depressing and not a little smelly. Glad to be out of there.
Arrived in Thailand at 12:35am Tuesday morning but one of our bags stayed in Vancouver! Oh God.
First day in Thailand we spent in the mall getting phones and an outfit for Emily (it was her bag that stayed behind). We decided to check in to the Town in Town hotel for the second night because the bed and shower at the apartment were quite uncomfortable. We spent two hours walking up and down the streets by the hotel just taking in the sights and sounds.
We are going apartment hunting tomorrow and going to enroll Emmy in NIVA school.
We have to search for free ways to talk to all of you because texting internationally is very expensive. As soon as we find stuff, I'll post info here.
It's still Tuesday 10:45pm and although we have slept only 10 hours in the past 87 hours, we are not really sleepy. Crazy!
ps The photo is of a stall door in the Shanghai public washroom...in case you were in any doubt about what to do! hahahahaha
