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 […]

After a day of resting, I felt recharged this morning. I set off for an early breakfast and then took a taxi up to this strawberry farm. Still as good as I remember! Taxi driver quoted me $25 ringit to go which is WAY too high! People here told me no more than $12….absolutely not

HOT and noisy stay in Penang! Party hostel, paper thin walls, tiny spaces, locker barely big enough for my laptop, AC turned off in the afternoons (the HOT part of the day). City was hot but I explored anyway. Found some lovely food spots, got a SIM card for Malaysia, got really good at walking
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

I’m in Bali and have been for four days. I’ve seen healers, eaten great food, walked a lot and never gotten my camera out. That will come later. I’ve wanted to give you a greater glimpse of Melakka. For years, I’ve wanted to visit there but never had it work out smoothly! This time, I
Slow internet? Divine intervention? Something! I’ve been attempting posting photos from Melaka and unable to load them, or open my gallery, or start a new post. I’m on my iPad ina restaurant to give this brief update. Yes, I am in Bali! Yes, it feels great being here! Awesome really! I’ve had a healing session
Melaka, forced time off! Read More »
I traveled today. It’s the first day I’ve taken off with my pack and gone exploring for a couple nights. And it’s early, compared to past trips. When I saw the Dr. Chow yesterday, she took my pulse and then asked me if I had any pain? No. “How do you feel?” Very good! Pulse
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
Unpredictable journey home! Read More »
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
Stay present, pay attention! Travel with ease. Read More »
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
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
