Selamat Datang!

yep, welcome from Malaysia!! What a wild ride this trip has been!! Started the journey to Cambodia almost two weeks ago. I don't have the time now but just wait until you hear and see the pictures! The poverty there is extreme, and broke my heart to see..left a considerable impression on me for sure! After Siem Riep (where we were in Cambodia) we headed to Singapore and are now in Malaysia. We leave here tomorrow to head to Singapore for one more day and night and then it's the long journey back to Chicago!

While I've enjoyed my travels, I am looking forward to getting home, seeing Miss Mandi and my Oz man and scrappin' this incredible experience. I am, however, NOT looking forward to getting back to snow and winter temps...I've been living in the tropics for a couple weeks now and it feels great! Spent today lounging at the hotel pool...

I sure do miss my computer too LOL! Been jumping on to Rog's here and there, but boy, do I feel disconnected from all my "peeps"!! Miss ya tons!

Okay, off to have a cocktail and head to dinner...next time I blog, I'll be home....

until next time,
Blessings!

I can not express to you enough just how I would consider the trip your on, a trip of a life time! I think I will only be able to dream of a trip like that but will be so very thankful for the experience if that day were to ever come.

Have a safe trip home!

wishing a safe flight home!
I am soooo jealous, when I went to get my passport I said to Max..."Now we can go to Malaysia!"
"Who goes to Malaysia?"
"Cricket, so now I wanna too."
LOL

Can't wait to see the photos.
(ps. you aren't gonna like all the white stuff you're coming home to!)
