I'm happy to report that your grandfather has arrived in Bangkok in one piece. My tummy is still sore and I have absolutely no appetite. Most unusually for me, I've had nothing to eat for 24 hours now, only fruit teas with sugar. But I survived the journey without the need for those little aircraft bags. I am happy to be alive.
Now I am sitting on another plane which is about to leave for the three hour flight to Jakarta.
Yes, this road warrior is well and truly back in the saddle, after the summer slowdown.
