Neil's farewell dinner.  To farewell Neil for his move to New Zealand, the Gambles & the Thompsons enjoyed dinner at the JW Marriott Hotel in Bangkok.

IBM Mobile Office - when Neil joined IBM Thailand he was given a "Mobile Office".  We always wondered if it was really a lunch box ...

Which do you think - an office or a lunch box?

 

 

 

 

Star Wars - when Revenge of the Sith was released in June Neil went to the opening in Wellington

It was a big shock to see Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper at the premiere

But they turned out to be nice guys; we got friendly enough for a group photo

 

 

Neil went back to Bangkok because of the fire; while it was sad to see the house like that we were thrilled to see each other again

We went on a river cruise; Usa & Rex seem happy

Usa by herself

Roger was happy to be in the breeze

Rex can turn on a smile anytime ...

but the truth was he wasn't too happy with the food, as shown here...

... but he seemed OK later

For some reason Roger has trouble opening his eyes for photos

Neil tried blonde hair in BKK, but no-one liked it

 

Not Used

On the way back to Wellington Neil stopped in Sydney to see his Dad

Dad lives right at the end of Sydney harbor ...

... and has the Gladesville Bridge in the background

Not bad looking for a guy who's 79

We even got a rare photo together
