Andy, I didn't have a candle to light so I did the next best thing--I wrote a check to a lawyer.

Good to be home. Recovery moving along. Ipad audio books invaluable. The support of the Asia forum is wonderful. My sister actually posted a few times.

Haven't been in Fodors for a long time. Just saw this thread, sorry to hear about the surgery but very pleased to hear the results.

Stay well

All the best

Oh my goodness this is amazing and so positive. Such a wonderful set of posts to read. I couldn't ask for a better farewell as we board JAL to Narita and then Bangkok tomorrow morning. Great to know you are home, already posting Andy and that they kicked you out of the hospital. I always say "There's no place like home" Travel is great, but it's always a special thing to be home.
We will be away for 6 weeks (4 in Thailand and 2 in Hawaii) so much still to do and the taxi is arriving at 7:30am tomorrow.
Must say though that this news of Andy's homecoming and being able to post - sense of humor intact is making me really smile. Hugs to Beth.

Thanks too to Bob and Karen for keeping us all in the know. Sending wishes of good health and smoothing out the rocky parts ahead and, also keeping your surgeons in my prayers, that they will receive accolades for their expertise.
Au Revoir
Next post from BKK!

Andy, I'm delighted that you are home, as I know you are.

It was a pleasure to see your sister posting here. It is a wonderful reminder that we are all family.

Amazing news that you're out of hospital so soon - you must have been annoying the doctors as well as the nurses, lol. Am still sending white light from India for a speedy recovery.

Excellent idea. (First class would be good, too.)

[If traveling in business, consider BA. Flat seats, excellent connection on their daytime flight from Boston -- lv Boston 9am, arrive BKK 3.40pm next day.]

Hey, Andy, try for April in BKK (I know, I know... waaaay too hot)... Brad's big birthday bash at Tawandang is the 23rd.

I agree with Don. First class would be great!
