Thanksgiving/Christmas 2012 & New Years 2013 Holiday Visit to the USA:
Just 3 days prior to the US Thanksgiving Day, the wife and I decided to go back to the USA for a Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Holiday. Visit the Daughter & Son and their families, visit my siblings, visit our Thai/American friends, eat good holiday foods, and generally have a good time as the end of year holidays is always a festive time in the US and there are always a lot of get togethers with copious amounts of food and drink.
I went on line and purchased the Delta tickets on the evening of 20 Nov 2012 and we departed a "zero dark thirty" from Bangkok on the 21st of November. The routing being BKK to Tokyo, Tokyo to Detroit, Detroit to Harrisburg, Pa's Airport in Middletown, about a 30 min drive from Case SEA Traveler not far from the US Army's War College in Carlisle, Pa.
Flight was uneventful, Sister picked us up at the airport and drove us to Casa SEA Traveler. After a good nights sleep, the spouse and I headed down to the Daughter, Son-in-Law, and Grandson's house about an hour West for the Thanksgiving Day festivities. Roast turkey, ham, greened beans, mashed potatoes, noodles, vegetables of various variety, chips and dips, cookies and pastries, and some great tasting "cappuccino" for after the meal.
This was the first time since the previous year at the same time that we had seen the Grandson. He has grown and is now 1 year 8 months and has a great personality and disposition. A real joy to be around.
Here are a few photos from the Thanksgiving Day festivities: (but first I need to download them into the gallery)....
