Broken in Bangkok

[Sunday, June 9]

Please don't be alarmed by the title of this post!
I was just inspired by my *attempt at* viewing Sleepless in Seattle on our last fight.
And also by the fact that my suitcase broke in the Bangkok airport. 
Why did my suitcase break?
Because life is never boring.
I was grabbing it off of the luggage thing and the whole wheel thing just snapped off. I laughed, Sarah laughed, the man next to us laughed... Then he said something and motioned for me to either get out of the way or throw the wheel away...
I'm not entirely sure.

Or last flight was alright; 7 hours wasn't too bad. Sarah and I are just exhausted and ready to be there. Honestly, I'm just really looking forward to bathing. Although, I have gotten to brush my teeth. So I'm not toooooo upset about the current state of my hygiene. 

When we got off the plane here in Bangkok we had no idea what we were doing. We knew we had to change airlines and go through customs. But we didn't know how to do all of that or where to go. So we basically asked every "official looking" person that we saw. We went through passport control and then security and then found our airline and checked in. Then we went through passport control again. And security again. And finally found our gate. Phew. 

So now we're sitting and waiting for our next flight.
Story of our lives.

Sarah is a pro at sleeping in airports... I'm so jealous.
Although I did get a little 20 minute nap in a little bit ago. 
I'm proud of myself.

Our next flight is only 55 minutes long. PRAISE THE LORD. After we arrive in Cambodia, we'll go through customs and passport control and all of that fun stuff. Then we'll grab our bags and hopefully find Sokhom somewhere in all of that. 

Everyone just say a quick prayer that Sokhom will be there.
You better believe that we'll be praying the whole 55 minutes there. 

Thank you all for loving us and praying over us. We absolutely feel it right now.
Blessings, 
Cassie and Sleeping Beauty  

Ps I'm having to post these whenever I get to wifi so the dates will all be messed up. :(

  1. What an AMAZING writer you are! I'll look forward to your posts each and every time. Cassie (and Sarah), I'm so proud of you. Traveling (and sleeping) is exciting, exhausting, exhilarating, EXTREME. Each night when I'm wandering the house with insomnia, I will think that Cassie (and Sarah) is up and teaching the language I love. Proud of you I am. Writing like Yoda I was. LOVE YOU! Aunt Liz
