Approximate map location at which I flew my 2 millionth lifetime mile on United Airlines. Photo of live flight map taken onboard when it happened. |
Bonnie, Kathie, Tony, and I celebrate the end of the endless flights to Thailand with a happy hour drink at our pool bar. |
We heard there is a turkey shortage in the U.S. so we think our decision to travel out of the U.S. for Thanksgiving is a good one. We just made our Thanksgiving meal reservation at a British pub near our hotel. The pub is offering a complete Thanksgiving dinner with turkey and all the trimmings. (When we were in Bangkok a few days ago we saw a newspaper ad for a sale on turkeys. I guess there are enough Americans or other turkey eaters here to warrant that.) We will let you know how well a British pub can serve up our National Domesticated Bird.
Oh, I almost forgot. When we checked into our hotel, we received what must be the weirdest note ever sent from hotel management to guests. See what you think. Here is an excerpt: "Dear Valued Guest, We trust you are enjoying your stay . . . Due to the sighting of a 'potentially dangerous' marine creature in the immediate vicinity, we are advising guests not to enter the sea at this time. . . " The note went on to say that they would inform us "of any change in the current situation." No word on any change in the situation yet.
So this guy says to me, "See that sleeping tiger over there? Go pull his tail." |
We have a big day tomorrow so I'm going to call it a night. There's lots more to report so check back periodically. Better yet, subscribe at the upper right of this page (or at the top depending on the device you are using) to get email notices when we publish new posts.
