Arriving in Bangkok after the long flight from Berlin, we immediately took the shuttle bus to Pattaya and checked into the Perfect Place Hotel. The next two days were spent preparing for the flight home, jogging, swimming and catching up on our blogs and e-mail. Finally on June 7 at 3:30 am we took the 75 minute taxi ride to the Bangkok airport where we boarded our flight back to San Francisco (via Tokyo).
It was wonderful to see our daughter Jessica, who picked us up at the airport and drove down to Santa Cruz to stay in our little mobile home. We will stay here until the end of June since we have rented out our place in San Francisco until then. It has been great to visit friends here, catch up on stacks of mail, work in the garden, and enjoy the mild Santa Cruz weather. We have a lot of things to do and feel good. We especially enjoyed it when our son Randy visited us with our 10 year old grand-daughter Gabriela along with Jessica and her boyfriend Matt one Sunday.
I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to take this once in a lifetime kind of trip and have so many wonderful experiences. Now it is time to get back to work and join the fight against the budget cuts and rejuvenate my former activism in the people's movement. I am also looking forward to teaching the fall semester at City College.
