same same but .....

Hong Kong to Bkk  is not as far but NYC to Hong Kong was still 2 meals and 4 movies.  The Chinese are conservative with water.  I had 2 bottles with me and drank both.  This time upon arrival I went to the taxi desk and got a cab. Throughout the trip everyone helped with bags and doors etc. even when I did not want help. This cabbie got the memo and at 11:30 at night after schlepping through 3 airports and miles of moving and non moving walkways. I am almost not moving and the cabbie walked three feet ahead of me (now feeling like a little old lady in need of help). As he looked at the paper with the address in Thai and English...and asked the name of the place again and got the same answer...InstantStable...he finally said do you know where you are going. Of course my response was yes.   I know how to get there in daylight from Rod's but how hard could this be? I was good by the airport plaza, customs, the elephant statutes and even the u turn. Then we started down a very dark street with all the shops and bars dark. Where is the place? Soi 6....was my only response...a Soi 7 and the next block Soi 6 was all dark. I could make out the sign IntentStable...ok close,  paid the cabbie and stepped away with my bags on a deserted street with a locked gate.
The universe must have recognized my state for a man on a motorcycle came up called someone and the gate opened. I hope this happens at the heavenly gates. I am sure the woman was only expecting the gentleman caller but she went to a building in the back fetched a woman in a flannel nightgown who came out and hugged me and said I looked different.
The bungalow I am in is not the same one I looked at...the next one over and smaller but same same.  Beth would like this it is in Lana style.  Desk, small refrigerator, HARD king bed with no top sheet and one blanket (Rod was not kidding about it being cold. I folded the blanket and was warm enough). The three step down bath reminds me of the Nest. Since this is a new built place there are 7 electrical outlets..so I am wired and recharged.
Before my host left me for the night she wanted to know if I wanted food...my new body must cause her to think I am in need of repair.  There is a little box for my valuable items and a bike lock for the front door.
I will buy a pillow at the Sunday market for my less padded butt on the stool. I am up for Rod's drop in class today, then off for supplies...tea,deodorant, coconut shampoo, TP, and a thick towel.
There is a rooster, and there was a cat sleeping on my porch, but I heard nothing from the Wat next door.  It is QUIET....
Hopefully I will hook up with H&H for dinner and stop by Jeannine's later.
I will find out about the gate at night and then,  I will call this home.
