Hi Jax,
God is certainly having a good laugh at my expense!!!

Yes Pattaya is next, but boy these JBR's take a long time to do. No real mishaps in Pattaya but wait until we get to the Kanchanaburi one!!! More laughs in store at my expense.... lol

Financially, when you miss a flight it costs...we were lucky because we got $300 flights to Bangkok. Should of worked out that we got $300 return flights but me in my madness decided to book them separatly . Jules was flying from Cairns to Melb so she could fly over with us. So I thought I would book the 5 of us together so we could sit next to each other.

Since Jules flew home earlier I had to do 2 separate booking but had to use Jetstar Asia (ex Bangkok to Melb) and it ended up costing us about $380 due to exchange rate, conversions fees etc....

But it was still cheap!! So ok bit the bullet on that one ....

Jules lost her flight altogether including meal and had to pay for another one. Also because she had a flight already booked from Albury to Sydney plus another one from Sydney to Cairns on the monday she was getting into Melb. she had to reschedule these and had to pay the associated costs...so yeah it was an expensive DVD player which I hope she gets lots of enjoyment from!!!!

But already wanting to go back......so many things I would change though!!!
and so many things I would buy!!!
