On Saturday we had to send the boys home so we helped them pack and spent the day at the pool and exploring some of the local village. On Sunday the rest of us had to go home. We had to check out at noon but our flight didn't leave until ten at night so we just stayed at the hotel and relaxed soaking up all the sun we could until our long series of flights.
We flew from Phuket to Bangkok, nothing too exciting, just that Collin left his phone on the plane and we never got it back. Then there was a problem with the Nicholes tickets and we were at the ticket gate forever, so long that our layover time was spent making sure we could get on the plane. Everett had a rough time on the five hour flight to Korea, it left at one in the morning!
We spent Monday in Korea. We decided that we were tired of airports and we took a transit tour of Korea. We went to a Palace that was there in the 1300s, it was brightly colored and huge, every room was a separate building. Then we went to a Buddhist temple where a funeral was going on for a very famous monk. We all ate lunch at a Korean restaurant, the tour guides would not even tell us what some of the food was (they just kept saying just try it).
We flew for twelve plus hours to LA where we had another nine hour layover so we spent Monday in Santa Monica but it was freezing in California in the 60's so we spent some time at the airport before we made the journey home. We are all suffering from jet lag and missing our paradise but Ford did say "I am glad to be in a country where apple juice tastes like I like it." And Collin said "I am glad to be in a country where milk taste like I like it."
