It's just after 3:00 a.m. and we're up and ready to start our trip back. UA flights from places like BKK leave early in the morning, making for a long day before we arrive in SEA this afternoon.
Let's hope the promised coffee arrives before we have to leave our room.
Update...
No, the coffee did not arrive, but we find out that our breakfasts and coffees will be at "reception," i.e. the front desk. We finally each receive one small cup of coffee and one large breakfast box just as our taxi arrives. We slurp the coffee, consolidate the boxes, and taxi to the airport.
We're now in the Thai Lounge after experiencing few lineups. None of Kathy's upgrades have cleared but she's supposedly number one on the list for the first two flights. Tom is down a fair way further and it doesn't look at all hopeful. We'll just have to wait and see.
It's already feeling like a long day after that 3:00 a.m. wakeup call, but we'll be fine once we're aboard.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
