Good night and Good luck

One last note before I pack away my laptop and try to catch a few hours sleep before waking up at 3 AM to be at the airport in time for a 6:45 AM flight...

We had a tearful good-bye tonight at the Nielson's house. There kids have been such good friends to Meg and Jake. It's comforting to think they will at least have those good memories of Thailand.

It almost feels like the season finale of 301NIB, there are so many storylines left unresolved. Will the USA let a semi-legal immigrant like Mack Strate back in the country? Once Kaddi returns to California, will she ever leave again? What kind of fee will the airport charge us for each bag (Kaddi believes we have at least four bags that are over the weight limit.). Most importantly, will there be a second season of 301NIB...and where it be set?

It feels as unreal to be leaving Thailand as it did to arrive here. In the weeks and months from now when regular life has me in its clutches, all this will no doubt seem like a dream. It doesn't take long before you begin to wonder whether or not it really happened....
