Damrongsak Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Just rambling in the pub: My wife and I went to Thailand in early September last year. I stayed about 2 months, she stayed about 6 months. After 45 years of marriage it was a welcome relief. ???? She's been back for a couple days now ... sleeping 4 hours at a time several times a day. It's a rough journey to the USA when you get into your mid to late sixties. I teased her about coming back to the U.S. and the quiet nights without kids on motorcycles with no mufflers running around and her 50 pet chickens crowing all the time. Never mind the yapping relatives. I did some good house cleaning so I'm not completely in the dog house. Anyway, wish me luck ... I could use it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Ugh, I remember when Mrs G went back to Thailand for a month last year, I had a frantic day of cleaning before her return. Of course it wasn't good enough, but it me out of Capital Crime territory.....just! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 I had plenty of cleaning to do and a couple projects to finish. She came in at Dulles airport (IAD) near Washington, DC. It took her 2 hours to get through immigration, etc. When I came back in early November it took me 2.5 hours. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've come back in through multiple ports of entry; DEN, DFW, ORD, SFO, but by far the worst was ORD it took us 3 hours to get through immigration, unbelievably bad, The immigration officer even said "Welcome Home".
