30 days out of Canada

Miss the hockey, miss the leaves, miss the coolness nippin at your nose. Miss my garden. And of course all the people.
But we are moving forward, no one has suggested that there are 542 sleeps before we come home, that would just be the wrong way to look at this. And that wouldn't make it an adventure either.
This weekend as you all already know is a long weekend in Thailand. We have plans for one tour into the city. One of those temple and palace tours that BKK is famous for. Have to take one before our first boatload of Canadians arrive here on Oct 29.
I also have my first golf game booked for Saturday. Yeah I know pure relief. You were all getting worried weren't you. Well now you can relax as I will finally be hitting the links again. I will borrow clubs, will need to go and look for some place to buy a box of Top Flite, Extra Long Super Soft Dead Straight GET IN THE HOLE golf balls. Shouldn't be too hard. It is BKK afterall. A shoppers paradise. Wish me well. I will hit the links with only half of my usual attire. All real golf related equipment, hats, glove, etc is still in impound down at Customs and Immigration.

You have heard about the floods here in Thailand? Well I hadn't until by the pool yesterday morning. Trying now to look on websites to see if the floods are heading towards BKK. Floods are in northern Thailand right now as far as I can figure.BKK is very flat and only abaout 10 meters or so above sea level. Kinda like New Orleans. A river Delta. The area that we are in was all rice paddies in the 60's according to one pool side resource. (Hey you get information where you can! Deeds is always askin me How do you know this stuff? There you go, resources!!)

I will go downtown to meet Deeds this afternoon to present our visa's to the Immigration Dept. Had to get six extra pictures taken in a panic last night. We have a special resource here who will pick up our visa info and go and stand in line for us down at Immigration to present the material. Our meeting is scheduled for 1. This is progress. Every little step like this gets us closer to getting our stuff out of hock and I can use my own golf equipment.
Looks like ETA for the apartment is November 1. Last discussions with the landlords rep ended in "The lease starts November 1, I would think you will move in November 1. We will try to have the place ready before that, but........."
There is a quick little update, 30 days out of Canada!
