Day 18 (1/23/2020)

Today was- bittersweet. Leaving a place where I spent almost a month and learned so much was sad, but it was finally time to return to my family and home. A group of us had flights at 6 and 7am, so the drivers were set to pick us up at 4am because the traffic in Bangkok is so bad. AND…

My alarm didn’t wake me. One of the girls had to call me, and thankfully I was able to get ready quickly and I somehow made it to the car from the 10th floor before it left.

I feel like all highways look the same at 4am.

I did more souvenir shopping at he airport, especially because there were a few hours to kill. I was able to get my first flight with someone I knew from the trip, which was great (I’d always recommend a travel buddy). My layover was in Hong Kong and lasted for 7 hours, so I waited for my buddy’s flight with her, then waited for my other friends whom I was taking the connecting flight to New York with. Thankfully, we were able to get seats next to eachother.

Breakfast on flight #1
My friend’s flight was leaving, and it was kind of cool to see the planes lift off (even though I’m terrified of flying)
The Hong Kong Airport was super fun and had a lot of stuff to see and do.
I was literally here for 7 hours 😂

Luckily, I was able to get a seat next to my friend on our long flight back.

Dinner also came with ice cream!
We were on the plane so long, we even got breakfast. These flights were also the most I ever watched movies (I’m not a big movie person).

Before I knew it, I was back in New York! Home sweet home. But a part of me will always miss Thailand.

This is what NYC looked like during our landing.
