Tahiti Day 1.5 (30 March 2018)

I teared up when we stepped off the plane.   You know those moments that you never anticipate will come to fruition?  This was one of them. Holy smokes am I glad to be here sharing this experience with some of my lovelies!  The flight was kind of long, but they gave us a darling white flower (Mom thinks it was a Tahitian gardenia) that smelled like heaven. I tucked it behind my ear, and every time I turned my head, the fragrance wafted in the air. 



When we landed, I definitely teared up!  You know that feeling you had when you were a kid and Christmas FINALLY came?!?  That was how I felt as I stepped off the plane. 


When we walked in for the Passeport control, there were three people singing and dancing!  It made the experience of standing in line a whole lot more pleasant. Although, the humidity caught up to us, and with compression socks on, I definitely felt like the Wicked Witch of the West after Dorothy threw water on her. 

We had our rental car company pick us up (it was just up the hill from the airport) and proceeded to figure out how to load our luggage into our ‘Elf Clio.’  It is a brand new car, that had the luggage capacity of an elf’s car. 😏. But we got most of it to fit in the trunk, with a little on our laps. 😊. There was no GPS in the car, so I asked our guy how to get to our hotel. He gave general directions, and we were off!

International data plans from Verizon don’t work in Tahiti, so there are some steep tariffs charged when you use your phone. However, Alex figured out the address to the hotel and guided us home for the next few days.

Day 6 - Thailand (13 March 2020)

Image
Today felt like how I imagined Bangkok would feel. We started out by driving over to the Grand Palace. Alex and I were both wearing long capris, and we weren’t sure if they would let us into the Palace grounds without needing to buy elephant pants to cover up our legs. But we made it in without needing to buy the pants! Our guide said there are usually 10,000 Chinese tourists here a day, but we had very few people around us.   The Grand Palace is beautiful!  They have mosaic tiles covering almost every building, and the buildings seem to sparkle in the sunlight.  Everywhere you look, it’s like all the colors wash over you as you soak it all in. There was a decent amount of sun, but it was beautiful to see!  It is an interesting experience to learn a little about cultural beliefs and norms as you are walking around experiencing the things there are to see. It makes me wonder how different life was when there were not tourists walking around.  I was so impressed w...

Day 5 - Thailand (12 March 2020)

Image
We had another calm morning as we got ready for the day. Here’s the view from our hotel window! After another good breakfast, we met Kris in the lobby for another full day of exploring. Today, we drove about an hour to Ayutthaya. This impressive city has 515 temples!  Some of them are in ruins from when Myanmar burned them, but some of them are quite spectacular! Our first stop was Wat (meaning temple) Yai Chai Mongkol. It means ‘the temple of the boat noodle.’  It was a beautiful temple area with gorgeous flowers, textures, and color everywhere you looked.  However, we needed to use the facilities, so Alex had her first experience of the squatty potty.  It’s authentic!  After we exited the bathroom, we learned that they had western toilets around the corner. Hmm...jerks.  Back to the Wat Yai Chai Mongkol. I really enjoyed this visit. Probably my favorite were the multi colored Bougainville.  I was also impressed with the good condition of the temple a...

Days 1, 2, and 3 - Thailand (March 8 -10, 2020)

Image
First of all, the coronavirus showed it’s face during the last few weeks of planning time of the trip. We weren’t sure what was going to happen, but all felt good about going to Thailand. So, after a handful of flight changes, we finally got everything sorted.  Sunday morning, we finally found ourselves at the airport!  Make sure you plan on 28+ hours of travel time in order to make it all the way from Salt Lake.  The first leg of our trip was in First Class!   The second leg was in Premium Select. Between the two flights, I finally learned how the other half lives. So. Nice!  I forgot to take a picture of the second and third flights. However, Premium Select is worth the cost of the ticket.   There have been a lot less crowds at the internationals airports, with a lot smaller crowds of people. Every flight we took was probably less than half full. So on the Air Nippon Airways flight for Bangkok, I sat in a row by myself, which meant I could lie down and sl...
