Kuala Lumpur


We are here! The last leg of our flight was uneventful- a good thing when you are flying. It was easy to see the size of Kuala Lumpur from the air. The twin towers sparkled in the night sky just outside our window. We made our way through immigration and to baggage claim. It was late, we were tired, and seeing our baggage come off the line was a relief - we had our "stuff"!

The hotel shuttle had ceased operation at 12:10 am - we were about 20 minutes late. Negotiating the brand new coins and public phones, we attempted to call the hotel without success. We quickly chose to engage a driver, and for about $10 we made our way to the Concorde Inn. Every interaction we had at the airport was friendy and helpful - even in the middle of the night.

A shower and bed never felt so good. The trip took about 29 hours, door to door. Both of us slept well and awoke about 5 hours later. It is 7:30 am and we are good to go.
