Farewell Aoteroa

Fly High with Thai

rain 28 °C

Thanks Moundo, Joe and Bill to bid us farewell, and big hugs to our lovely girls, Liz and Em, who wanted so much to come out to the airport to see us off, it certainly has been one of the hardest emotional things for us to deal with. But as luck would have it we met up with a dear acquaintaince from Howick, Irene Brooks at check in, whose powers from her magic wand enabled us to fly......BUSINESS CLASS! Yes, rrrreally, she worked wonders and surprised us as we approached the departure gate to "rip up your boarding passes as I have new ones.....have upgraded you"......we had silver service, our own waitress and waiter, own toilet, big bed seats, there were only 6 of us in the class, we had french red wine, scallops, curry, cheese and crackers, more wine, juice, priority baggage claim ...the service was impeccable, thank you Thai Airways, and a sincere warm thanks again to the lovely Irene Brooks from Howick. We had a super flight, and arrived Bangkok to rain and humidity, and our taxi driver sped us off at 120kph all the way to our luxury hotel, where another day awaits us...another day of adventure in the life of the Houghtons...what will happen for us today!Departing_..res_002.jpgDeparting_..res_003.jpg

Elsie, I dont think you have ever looked as relaxed as you do in this photo thats because you dont have the stress real estate anymore. You are and have always been a tin arse. It is very quiet without you in the office but we do miss you. But you must have forgotton you had a settlement today and Juddie wants to know where the keys are but dont worry he did sort it out. He wants to know where you want the cheque sent?

Unbelievable, how tinnie can you two get. They actually put you in business class so that they could keep a better eye on the "trouble makers". Only joking. Love the photos. Looks like the camera is working well. Have a great time. Will be in touch.

Good to see you getting stuck into the Singha beer. Not a bad drop. Soon you'll be enjoying the real warm beer of Blighty.
How long did it take to get from airport to the hotel in B'kok?
