Destination weddings and techno anxiety

I am at Singapore airport waiting for our connection to Koh Samui which has been delayed a couple of hours much to the consternation of a few of the party.  When I booked I missed the booking through all in one go and distressed some of the group by having to exit, collect my baggage and then check in again.  It went off  smoothly in less than about 20 minutes. 
The next cause of stress was one of the party having an anxiety attack over the fact that they are uncontactable. No global roaming and therefore suddenly overwhelmed with panic and in tears.  It makes you think how attached we are to our mobile devices. Once we were out of contact for weeks at a time.  I was often uncontactable last year and I did have a few moments of anxiety but I was able to deal with it rationally and get past it. I think we should be uncontactable more often.
Now I am getting hungry and a drink would be nice too.
 Very tired group at Changi

The flight was great. Full but quiet and I caught up on three movies I wanted to see.  I picked the Paper plane and felt very emotional and cried. The other movie was the Imitation game and the Theory of everything. All great movies but all a bit sad too.
We arrived finally very late and Angie was shocked at where the resort is. It was like going through the boondocks, rural Thailand and then arriving at paradise. 
Our rooms are very nice but there are a few different low levels. No OH&S here! I have this massive bed and a spa bath on the balcony. I just had a quick shower and fell into bed. Angie was very upset because she had wanted a sea view and paid extra th have it. There was no sea view. I thought we were getting a garden room but we are on the 4th for.  I am happy and ime morning I could glimpse the sea from my balcony.
