Lancy is on her way.....but two days late and going around the world the other way. When she got to the airport on Tuesday, United wouldn't let her on her flight because she just had a one way ticket. According to the Thai consulate, that was all that she needed because she had a 1 year visa, not the typical tourist visa. But...the Thai consulate would not contact United, and United would not contact the Thai consulate....so she was stuck.
Fast forward to today. Yesterday she bought a ticket to Cambodia so that she would have a ticket leaving Thailand. Today that was acceptable by United so she was able to get on the flight. Next problem---the flight from San Francisco to Bangkok was cancelled today.....so they re-routed her through Frankfurt.....Germany.....the other way around the world!
So, she is ON the plane now, heading first to Denver, then to Frankfort, then to Bangkok, arriving on Saturday, the 23rd at 6:30am.....9 hours later than she would have arrived on the original flight. That will be about 38 hours of traveling.....good thing she is young. She will be wiped out when she gets there, but will at least be able to say that she has been to Europe, eh???
Keep praying for her travel and her first days getting settled in Thailand.

Thanks for keeping us up to date on Lancy. We are praying she arrives there safely! She is so brave!
So glad she made it safe and sound. It is a good thing she is young. That 38 hours would kill me.
