March 26th - WE ARE HOME in sunny Maple Ridge, Canada!

Wow, that was a long haul! It was harder than I expected. It wasn't the layovers that got me but the back to back red eyes. Our connection in Bangkok was seamless thanks to Thai Airways checking us in as international travellers so that we did not have to mess around in Bangkok with our tight connection to Hanoi. 
The 8hr layover in Hanoi wasn't too bad in the end. We found a restaurant that was empty the whole time we were there that had soft couches that we could lounge on. It was like our own private sky lounge! The flight to Seoul was at 11:10pm and arrived at 3:30am or 5:30am local time. That was a red eye. I think I may have slept for an hour and I wandered the streets of Seoul with Min and Sean from our Kona class like a zombie. Thanks again guys for taking us out and to lunch. Sorry that I wasn't my usual energetic, annoying self. Jenny and the kids were fine. It was cold in Seoul. About 5C compared to the 39C in Thailand. That was a shock to the system plus we had very few warm clothes. Thanks again Sean for bringing us coats.

We flew from Seoul to Vancouver YVR at 6:45pm and arrived in Vancouver at 4:00am which was noon local time. I had about 2hrs sleep on that flight which adds up to 3hrs out of 60hrs.Thanks to our friends at Burnett Fellowship Baptist Church for filling our fridge and the lasagna and ham and cheese and everything. You guys are amazing.Our house looks like a bomb went off. Food, clothes, gifts covering every surface. Our house sitter, Lisa has gone away for the weekend which is probably for the best as she kept our house immaculate and now its a mess. Here are some photos of our fun with the elephants. Now we are back on safe ground I will post some of what went on back in VN in a separate post.

Thanks again for lunch Sean

Mmmm, appetizing. Some Koreans are a bit weird. Food served in a toilet bowl.
