As I wrap up this portion of the trip and begin the journey back home, I’m appreciating all the simple, peaceful people I’ve encountered. Now back in Kuala Lumpur, civilization has taken hold. People are facing about, head down, no eye contact….or eyes glued to0 their phones. Simple life, not a lot of struggle, making […]

Back in Bagan after a short trip to Mindat. Awesome! Walked through the local villages where they seldom see tourist. Experienced local natural life which I love. Learned about some of their rituals. Saw women who had their face tattooed before that was made illegal. Was in museum that had artifacts older than the historic

Day…??? Hard to believe I’ve only been traveling a few days! WOW! First, little to no jet lag. In flight, I used the homeopathic “no-jetlag”. If that is new for you, check it out: http://www.nojetlag.com/No-Jet-Lag-brochure.html Second, I drank plenty of water and took some Emergen-C in flight. And, I stayed a wake. Not for the

I’m here in Kuala Lumpur. It is 2:30 am Monday morning local time. That’s 11:30 am Sunday morning in Colorado, a 15 hour time shift. I left home at 8:00 am Saturday. That is roughly 27 1/2 hours of travel. Biggest challenge: butt and hips ache! Surreal walking off the jet here feeling like I
My flight was really early! The express train direct left later than I wanted. I decided to take the SkyBus from KL Sentral to the airport. My last evening, with free time on my hands, I took the LRT rail to KL Sentral to shop for travel food and verify the bus schedule. They confirmed

I’m up early. Sleeping well and sleeping less since the acupuncture treatments. I’m going to have breakfast as soon as it opens and then head for the train to Batu Caves. Later in the day, it gets really hot out there. I’m already making a compromise in my travel preference for the trip. I’m going

Yesterday, I struggled attempting to make plans. I did that for a while until I realized one thing: I was struggling!!! So I let all that effort go! Struggle never works well with travel. This morning, I woke with clarity about what felt good for next steps on this trip. After letting go, everything was

Several years ago, I posted a brief update of my first couple days traveling. A friend wrote that her life felt boring compared to what I was experiencing. My life at home felt boring compared to my first day here! I debated at the airport what transportation to take? There was one
I stumbled upon a cool festival in Kuala Lumpur. Beneath the station for the light rail was a canal. The side walls of the canal had been painted a turquiose color. I noticed a few vehicles along the edges of the canal with cans, ladders and boxes scattered about. People were doing something to the
I went walking through the Lake District and took some photo’s of all the green. I thought that perhaps, my friends and family experiencing bitter cold and winter snows just might get a sense of warmth from a few photo’s. After three days now, it is glorious being surrounded by green. A storm hit here

With the time difference, I’m just getting rolling while many of you are winding down. Here’s a link to where I’m headed shortly. It’s about 13 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur (less than 9 miles) but takes nearly an hour on the local bus. I’m off to catch that bus and see what the rest of

“Are you traveling alone”….the question continues. Yes, I’m am traveling alone at the moment, but probably not in the next! Last night I had dinner with a Merat from Algeria. This morning, I met a young couple visiting KL from their home in Penang, one of the MUST SEE spots on my Malaysia itinerary. I
