T- 6

Leaving in 6 hours for Thailand. I can't wait. I think I'm done packing for the most part. I had to remove a few items as I think I overpacked. I have a fairly large bag this time, so I need to constantly remind myself that it's not necessary to fill it up. Plus now I have more room for souvenirs. Not that I buy that many anymore. When I travel now, all I think about is minimizing the clutter in my slowly shrinking apartment. I seem to be gathering more and more "stuff".

I'm a bit nervous as my friends and I are all flying in from different places. We were supposed to meet up at the gate for our flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, but Orient Thai emailed me this morning to let me know they had cancelled our flight. I haven't been able to get ahold of the airline to figure out our options since their website sucks and they're not very specific on how to get in touch with their call center internationally. On top of that, I don't know if my friends are checking email, so they might just get a nice little surprise at the airport when they find out there's no flight. I'm hoping that I get to the airport early enough to find them and figure out options from there. Worst case scenario is that we take a later flight with Orient Thai and just kill time at the Bangkok airport I suppose. Hoping to avoid that though.

On second thought, worst case scenario is that we can't find each other in the airport and end up missing multiple flights...
