Foreign Currency Exchange Office in Ottawa was interesting. Clerk extremely helpful.
March 11 in Bangkok
Pics..Mary's birthday in Bowmanville, us at the airport and celebrating with champagne with Dennis on the plane over the ocean. more pics at Tokyo airport and my two plane mates 'Tom' and 'Yoko' who were on their honeymoon trek to Calcutta. excellent English. No limo driver at the airport but cabbie was excellent. and two thirds cheaper! pics of mary and i at the Courtyard Marriott. Walk to the location of the conference (4.5km in 34 degree C..actually it was OK) only to find it's the wrong hotel. A wonderful concierge sends us in a cab (bearing free bottles of water) to the Anantara Resort and Spa, the correct location of the conference. Yahooey! This is where the fun begins...It's amazingling exotic so we manage to convince the mangers of both hotels to move us to the location of the conference. Two cabs later we are moved. Room isn't ready and it's time for the Conference meet and greet so we head to the garden room. No one is there! head back to the lobby and find out we've spent the whole day on Tokyo time which is two hours ahead so we're too early for the meet and greet. We just figured we time travelled! Room is ready. We walk into a SUITE which includes two huge balconies, a separate den, free bottles water, free internet and free breakfasts in the Hotel restaurant every morning of our stay...They've upgraded our room because there are no more economy rooms left...AND they're charging us the lower conference rate (which we were supposed book by November 2011) We are blessed!We sent pics of the room...awesome. Pics of Mary on a very large table in front of the hotel. Please look at the guard coming through the doors behind her...we were'nt supposed to sit on this table let alone put your feet on it. Pics of the guard and me...we apologized and made friends. Went shopping and mary bought a beautiful designer 'knock off' top to present her paper tomorrow. Time for bed...We love Bangkok...Good Night Moon....Mary and Jo
