Flying back to Pakse
Author: DJI got up at 3:30 AM and took a nice cold shower and got ready for the airport. When my father saw me ironing my clothes, he asked me to also iron his clothes, which I did, along with my mother’s clothes. We waited until 5:00 AM for aunt A to come downstairs. When she didn’t my mother called upstairs to make sure aunt A is ready to go. I then asked the maid to lock up the dogs so I can load the truck with the suitcases. It was a nice drive to the Wattay International Airport. Many people were walking and jogging on the streets. Merchants are also pushing carts to the local market. Aunt A said it is a trend for people of Vientiane to get up at 4:30 or 5:00 AM and do their morning exercise by either walking or jogging on the streets before going to work.
When we arrived at the airport there were no one in front of us. It was a smooth process checking in. We were one of the few Lao people at the gate. There were so many farangs that they had to divide the passengers into two flights, with our flight leaving 15 to 20 minutes later. The flight to Pakse was comfortable. I was afraid of getting motion sickness since I forgot to take my motion sickness medicine with me.
