:: Travelblog - All In One! ::
hey kids! I'M HOME!!! yes sireee.... back from bangkok and shopping and sailing! =P actually got back last night, but after unpacking the suitcase, and sorting out the presents, and repacking my bag for work, i was just too tired to do anything else but plonk into bed to catch up on the much needed Zzzzz's....
so anyway, travelblog. cldn't get a connection at all, save for the dial-up connection at the YRAT Office (this is the sailing association of thailand, which i dubbed as the Cyber Cafe!), so didn't update, or even check my mail throughout the trip!
Day 1
the flight in was pretty good. watched 'Maid in Manhatten' on KrisWorld, but cldn't finish it though. No big loss. We managed to clear customs pretty quickly, and the health checks were done with amazing efficiency. thank goodness there wasn't that 12 hr quarentine rumour that i heard. phew!
some guy called ben picked us up at the airport, and thus began the long drive to Sattahip, Chonburi. Met up with Navee at the county pub, and had a late supper/early breakfast (it was 1am!!!), we adjoured to the hotel room, where Navee, Col Meta and Tang continued to induce alcohol till 4.30am, while the rest of us slept!
got up bright and early the next morning, and after a delicious brunch of thai homecooked dishes, we got onto Platu 131, our lovely lady for the duration of the race. i have to say though, it sure was a good idea to get into Sattahip a day earlier, coz we took a good half day to figure out which sheet went into which cleat, and what was for what! Pretty good for a crew that has nvr sailed a Platu before... got in an hour of sailing, and hositing of the kite, and we were ready to anchor the boat... pretty good for a pre-practice race tryout! =P
anyhoo... super tired now... so i'm gonna head to bed... will update on travelblog tmr!
a little on today... had dinner with mom. then went shopping after... hahaha... she bought 4 pairs of shoes!!! influence of yours truely... *grin* she's nvr done that before!! 4 pairs in one go!! you go, mom!!
so, yea... i'm off to bed... and i'll leave you with a quote from my mom...
"Since we're both still getting salaries, let's help contribute to the economy tonight."
