February 20, 2013: Finished up my conference in Sydney, said goodbye to my amazing hotel room, and headed to the airport! Found some STROOPWAFEL’s, which helped my addiction until I can get back home.  Hopped on a Boeing 747-400 Thai Airways flight, was able to snag an upper deck exit row window seat (the best.), and soaked in some great views of the outback across Australia. (That’s just clouds over the Blue Mountains above).  Arrived in Bangkok at 10pm, met up with Jim at 10:30pm, and off to the hotel to grab a few hours of sleep! Tomorrow… Chiang Mai, Thailand.
