no cold-turkey for me

Off to the airport tonight - with no icy road misgivings - Sound Transit Link light-rail will take me from a block from home to the airport. Then it is running the groping gauntlet of TSA - I will opt for the full body scan machine - hell I dont care who sees my junk - but would prefer not to be fondled by some illiterate ex K-Mart TSA agent - now if he had worked at Target and could read he might be more "eligible" - then we might come to a groping arrangement. 13 hours by EVA to Taipei, a 40 minute layover then a 4 hour flight to Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok. Thence a 90 minute bus ride to Jomtien, a 15 minute pickup truck to the end of my Soi and a motorcycle taxi to my condo. Putting it like that it sounnds intimidating but the end justifies the means plus I enjoy the whole travel process. Then its 85-90 for 10 days out of this cold icky Seattle winter. More later... enjoy your Turkey.
