Yesterday was my last day at Phuket Fit.  I gained weight – fat, not muscle and I was dehydrated on my check out stats.  I think they had my food goals off a little, but my biggest goal was to try to get my body to want to exercise again.  After over a year with no exercise, I was tired and unmotivated.  So, I feel ready to go again.  I was hoping to process a lot of my experiences over the past eight months, but that didn’t seem to happen or is happening in a different way or is partially happening.  So more on that later as I figure it all out.  I didn’t take as many pictures as I wanted of Phuket Fit, but a few are attached.

Today I had a lovely pancake breakfast with Lynne and James.  I might have gained some more weight just from breakfast.  I went to the airport early, because what was I going to do for two hours after hotel check out in the rain?

Besides, my airline reservations were sketchy and I figured if something was amiss, I’d have time to fix it.  I had a minor freakout when I booked the flight and the confirmation came from a company different from the airline.  My confirmation came through with the note that I could not check in on line because the airline wouldn’t have my info on line.  I could only check in at the airport in person.  It also had the copy of someone else’s credit card attached to the confirmation.  What?  Then I reminded myself that everything works out exactly like it should.  And if something seems unlikely in Thailand, it will work out exactly as billed no matter how unlikely it sounds.  There is some sort of “that can’t work” magic in Thailand that makes unlikely things work.  In any other country, I’d be buying another ticket today.  I sat in a restaurant for a couple hours until the check in desk opened.  I got in line to check in.  There were about 30 middle aged or older Thai women in line.  Is this the Thai middle aged woman airline?  One lady made me go ahead of her and her friends because there were 7 of them and they didn’t want me to have to wait for them.  So nice.  Then the husbands started arriving – oh, the women go and wait to check in while the men do what?  I checked in fine (duh – of course – magic) and now I’m waiting for my flight to board.

I might do some more blogs tonight when I get to Bangkok.  I fly to China tomorrow.  China blocks a lot of websites.  I bought a VPN, but I’m new to this concept so we’ll see how it goes.  But, if I don’t post for two weeks, I’m either having way too much fun or the VPN didn’t work.  I hope China has “that can’t work” magic like Thailand does.
