Today’s the day! I’m heading back Home and I’m really happy. I’ve been
missing home for a while now, been missing my parents, my family, my friends
and my cats, speaking my own language and understand everyone and don’t feel
alone at a table full of people. I thought this would be easier…
Anyway, I get up and try to shower which I’m still not able as the
water still doesn’t want to cooperate with me so I do the next best thing: wash
what I can at the bathroom sink and what I can’t with baby wipes. When I’m
ready Xuan and Carlos are also ready so I get the mototaxi and head to Phó Lè.
They show up a little bit after me with Thach Thao as Phuc stayed at
home ‘cause he’s feeling sick with toothache. We eat breakfast and then go to
the coffee shop. Carlos wanted to go to the apple coffee shop but it’s closed
so he leaves me at another one where we’ve already been with Til really near to
An dong market. We drink our coffees and then go to An Dong Plaza so Carlos can
buy a couple of belts and have his wedding ring fixed. Then we go to An dong
market to find another bag for me and also some socks for Carlos and the kids.
When I’m ready, I jump in a taxi with Thach Thao that is starting to be tired
and head home.
At home, The kids have lunch while I repack everything, all the stuff
I can pack I do it, leaving the rest for after the massage, yes, the massage, I
want to go for a massage before my flight and I also deserve one! Around 1.30
pm I’m ready for lunch and when I start eating Carlos and Xuan arrive home and
also have lunch. When I finish I grab my things and head to the massage with
lucky number 2. Today she’s stronger than ever as I requested and when the
massage finishes I feel as new; then I go to the steam bath and when I’m sweaty
enough I head out, get dressed and go home for a deserved shower.
Guess the water in my shower is completely against me ‘cause when I
try for the 3rd time to take a shower there’s still no water so I
have to go shower at Phuc’s room. When I’m ready I finish packing everything,
even some trees that Xuan wants to take to Portugal (lets hope nothing grows in
the meantime!) =)
Around 5 pm, Xuan takes me to buy a neck pillow and I find one very
nice of a cat, which couldn’t be more appropriate. Then I go for dinner at
barbeque and say goodbye to my friends finishing right in time to go back home,
bring the bags down and call the taxi.
On our ride to the airport, the kids fall asleep so when I go to do
the check-in I go only with Carlos. We pay the extra luggage and then I head
outside to say bye bye to everyone, I’m even able to give 2 kisses to Xuan’s
mother, a kiss to Phuc that is still asleep, a couple of tickles to Thach Thao
and a hug and kisses to Xuan and Carlos.
This airport is very funny, especially because it has 3 security
points: one where you pass the hand luggage but they don’t check your body,
another one for the passport control (exactly when my parents decided to call
to wish a good flight and I see myself explaining to the police guy I’m talking
with my mother), finally the security check where they check the luggage and
yourself and because I have a bow in my head it also gets checked. =) I’m ready
to go so I head to my gate, not before smoking a lil’ cigarette for the rest of
the trip and then wait for my time to boarding.
The flight to Bangkok went down smoothly but I have to confess that
annoys me very much the fact that I have to leave the plain, pass by the Thai
security check, go to another gate, wait 45 minutes to board in the same plane
again. There’s no sense in it and being sleepy makes my patience very small…
anyway, lets board!
Ok… forget everything I said before! When I arrive to my seat there’s
this lady that, according to her, has a problem in her feet so that’s the
reason why her hand luggage is under the front seats which wouldn’t be a
problem if there was any space for at least my feet… I’m feeling this will be a
very unpleasant flight but there’s nothing I can do right now besides try to
sleep…
See you later in Frankfurt! Night night peeps!
