And...we have finally arrived in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia...my new home for the next year. It was an interesting trek and so far we've learned a few key lessons...like always...always...book your seats well in advance of any trip. We spent the longest lag of our journey sandwiched between two other people in the middle of the plane. Even though it wasn't the most comfortable flight it still wasn't that bad...besides what really are you going to do on a 12 hour flight that left Canada at 1 am besides sleep. Oh. Ya. And watch movies. We also had a lot of time between flights, which is great if you don't want to miss your next connecting flight...however an almost 7 hour layover is a wee bit excessive. But we made it work. We entertained ourselves with people watching, napping, scrabble games on the iPad....oh ya and thank God for the iPad. We walked up and down the hall which helped stretch our legs and of course we ate. I think we had the best latte ever...may have even been better than Starbucks, but I didn't say that out loud, and of all places it was at the Taipei airport. Who would have thought. Oh ya and while there we were able to Skype with Leigha, and my Dad and Laurie. Oh how great technology is!
Ok...and now it's about time for a nap...so more to come soon!
