Countdown: Last day of work before we go!
In a flurry of To Do lists and far too much time in Outlook, we have both wrapped up our last day in our respective workplaces before we go! While Jen’s workmates celebrate her last day in the office for the year with a few drinks after work, I find myself putting the final touches on enough content to cover my workload in my absence. With that, we are done! The only thing left to focus on now is the trip and the inevitable last minute rushing around. As I type this some family members of mine are finally flying back to Australia after being stuck in Thailand due to ongoing protests. Quite how protesters can shut down an international airport in a country so reliant on tourism as a cascade of questions for another time, but has proved another area to occupy our attention over the last few days. Thankfully some quick thinking and patience has yielded a ping-pong of alternate flights, so all appears (at this stage) to be well. As for us, it’s only two days until we fly out and even though we have no plans to visit Thailand, we keep abreast of any news that might carry-over into our own travel plans given the border between Thailand and Cambodia.
