On October 2, 2023, I got a cryptic email from my Dad, who was travelling with my Stepmother in the Himalayan nation of Bhutan. He said that she had broken her femur and that they were working on getting home. This email was the start of a 24 day process in which my sister used her considerable knowledge of international travel and I used my knowledge of insurance companies to get her home on October 26th after a surgery in Bangkok.
My spent over a week in a hotel near the only (at the time) international airport in Bhutan with only Tylenol and Advil as pain reliever for my Stepmother. Both my sister and I ended up travelling to Bangkok to be with our parents post-surgery. Needless to say it was a crazy month.
On October 9, 2023, I raised the flags of Bhutan and Thailand and didn’t take them down until we successfully repatriated them on October 26th.
