Thailand Trip Day 1

Well, we are back from Thailand and we had a blast. I plan to give you an update of each of our days there so you can get a feel for how are trip went. The first day was a travel day. Those days are never my favorite and for some reason never uneventful. So we began our travel last Thursday around 1:30pm. We headed to the airport only to find out that our flight was delayed by an hour and half. So instead of leaving at 3:20 we left at almost 5pm. When we first heard the news we were a little worried about missing our connecting flight at 7 out of Bangkok to Chiang Mai. However, the lady at the ticket counter assured John in these words "it is not possible for you to miss your flight". However, this did not really reassure us since we are pretty sure it is possible. So we were trying to figure out what to do with the kids while we waited. We decided to hit the new KFC inside the airport for a really really early dinner because we didn't know if we would have another chance to feed them. When we arrived in Bangkok we literally ran to the next gate to get on the plane. We arrived at the gate at 6:59. The flight was to take off at 7pm! After landing in Chiang Mai we waited for 30 minutes for our luggage to arrive only to find out that for some reason we had to go to the international terminal to pick it up. By the time the kids were placed in their beds it was 11pm to their bodies. They were all so tired and worn out from the trip. We were hoping for a better day after a good night of rest.
