Last of Thailand...

John had left and the siblings and I stayed. We had some lazy days pool side and hard nights out. I started to notice my glands swelling and I was getting a sore throat.

I was getting excited though because John from Indy's was arriving in Thailand soon... I had a ticket to HKG for May 20th but I was going ot change it and fly over to see him after doing Chiang Mai. I was all sorts of confused about when to leave and such.

Danielle and Kris left and I was happy to have a night in to just relax by myself. I goofed on the date though. Days must have slipped by me without realizing it. The day after they left, I started to feel sick and it was May 19th... uh oh, May 30th I had a flight out of Bangkok. It was a Saturday and I tried to change my ticket but I couldn't get in touch with Cathay Pacific. I quickly bought a same day ticket to Bangkok- not knowing what else to do! I figured I could look into changing my ticket at the airport.

As the day progressed I started to feel more and more sick! When I got to the airport I realized that Cathay Pacific didn't have a booth at Phuket, so I couldn't sort out my ticket there. I arrived in Bangkok in the evening and felt like pure crap. I managed to find a cheap hotel with shuttle service 5 miles from the airport. I just needed a bed and wanted to be close for my early morning flight that seemed inevitable- I had to end my Thailand trip earlier than I wanted to. I didn't get to see John :(

I went to bed and woke up with a fever and being more sick than I have been in forever. Every time I swallowed, my throat felt so tight and it sent shooting pains to my ears... it hurt to breathe and sneezing was the worst. My chin was swollen beyond belief and this is where I will mention what I think the shower water did to me...

I had two pimples about a half a centimeter from my lip. A few days earlier I had woken up and they attached with some white puss. Gross.. I know! I looked awful and must have scared some that morning! It then happened to my lower chin too. On this morning the white changed to green and it crusted over. At this point I thought I had caught something. I was sick and scared. Two things made me feel better but brought me to tears... talking to my mom, who I desperately wanted to be with and I have never missed more in my life! and I managed to call Kat and Nick and heard the Boston crew in the background!

So with the me being a sick monstrosity I was in no condition to sort out new travel plans and I made myself get excited for China.... China! I slept the whole flight from take off to landing and found myself in the Hong Kong airport that looked a lot like the Bangkok airport... a new adventure...
