Sabai Dee Laos!

Our last day in Laos was wonderful! We spent our last day just relaxing, which was amazing after a long year of working with the best kids in the world!! Me and Cherise went for a 3 hour massage (which was only 15 American dollars....gotta love Asia :)) and my dad cruised around the city, talking with new people, and enjoying a lovely bowl of soup. We did our last bit of shopping so we could finish up buying our souvenirs for all our lovely family and friends, and then we had our last pizza in Laos for dinner. We had to leave our hotel at 11:30 the next day because our plane was leaving for Chiang Mai at 1:10. We did our last little walk abouts of the city and played with our squirt guns one more time. We became good "squirt gun friends" with a couple of guys who had a little store and we would stand in front of their store with them and squirt the passerby's. It was a blast!! We're really going to miss our new buddies :) We piled into our little Tuk-Tuk that we bargained from 50,000 kip to 20,000 kip and putted our way to the airport. Luang Prabang is a small city so we got to the airport in about ten minutes, unloaded our stuff and piled inside to check in. When we got there, they informed us that our flight was delayed and wasn't leaving until 6:10. We arrived there a little before noon, so now we had 6 hours to kill in the airport. Who knew you could play so many games of cards over the span of 6 hours. The plane finally arrived and we piled into it, looking like hi-jackers with our squirt guns strapped to our backs. They even asked us as we stepped on the airplane if we were thinking about hi-jacking it. It was funny! As the plane began the take-off we looked out at the beautiful city of Luang Prabang, said Sabai Dee (that's good-bye in Laos), and looked forward to our landing in Chiang Mai.
