We had some trouble finding Tom at the airport. I was waiting at the "international arrivals" gate and my Thai friends were at Starbucks. After a long wait I sent a photo of Tom to the Thais. Within seconds they sent this photo with a message that said, "Come to Starbucks and get your husband!"

Tom found the Super Bowl on our TV at 9 am on Monday. There were no commercials, though. Every time there was a timeout all we could see is what you see in this picture. Tom thought we should open some wine and eat peanuts (at 10 am) while we enjoy the game but I, always the sensible one, said no. My niece Erin heard this story and said, "But Aunt Barb, it is 5 o'clock somewhere!"
This is the Vertigo Bar and Restaurant on the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree Hotel. I went here for dinner back in 2006 with an Illinois State delegation and always wanted to take Tom here.
We stayed for dinner and paid dearly for the view.
While eating lunch at this place there was a sudden loud explosion just across the street accompanied by a cloud of blue smoke. Tom went to check it out and concluded that a transformer must have blown in one of those tangles of electrical wires. But no one really seemed concerned, and no power trucks came to make repairs...it's just how it was.
