It's about 2:45 p.m. here in Thailand on our last day. We have a closing ceremony from 3:30 to 5, and then the 50 or so of us that are leaving tonight will bust over to the airport. We are going to be cutting it a little close, but I'm sure it will be fine.

Tonight we are just flying back to Bangkok. Unfortunately we have to stay at the same hotel we stopped at on the way here, and this time we won't be nearly as tired as we were last time, so I'm afraid we'll notice even more things about it we'd rather not see. But it's just a few hours, and then we'll be back to the airport. Tomorrow will be the 6-hour flight to Tokyo, followed by the 13-hour flight to Chicago. Then hopefully we won't have any problems getting out of Chicago. If all goes well, we should be home around 8:00 on Monday night Nashville time. I can't wait to see my babies.

I'll blog about yesterday at some point on the plane. Brandon Abbott played auctioneer last night for the Lottie Moon thing. He was SO in his element. They raised over $33,000 on all of the baskets and the special fear factor stuff at the end. Scott Harris ate some really nasty things, but raised something like $8,000 for it. I still don't think I could have done it.

Remember Koy, the adorable Thai girl with the amazing voice that we've listened to in the lobby every night? Last night I went downstairs to take her picture and tell her good-bye. She totally hit on me. No lie. It was one of the most bizarre experiences of my entire life. Fortunately, what happens in Thailand stays in Thailand.

That's all for now. Pray for us. See you soon. :)
