Tonight, I was sitting with some friends and we were discussing where to go for some travel this upcoming November break. You have to keep in mind that these people have been living abroad for quite some time. They were throwing around countries, cities, resorts that I didn’t even know how to spell, let alone know the location of. I was such a rookie siting amongst the veterans. As we started to zero in on our destination, I finally admitted to my lack of Asia geography skills, at which they gently laughed as they remembered what it was like to be in my shoes, and pulled out the lap top. I love technology. So, we ended up booking our tickets to Kota Kinabalu (KK), Malaysia. I have already started my shopping list.
Also, my website was recently updated by Aaryn of aaryn.com to include some photos of Hong Kong that are not posted on this blog. Feel free to check them out when you get a chance! Keep the comments coming!!!

Hi Claire,
You can count your blessings. It was 107 degrees in Escondido yesterday. What is so good in Malaysia?

Malaysia is getting closer to Bali. Eat, Pray – Love! Sounds exotic. Looking forward to talking with you soon and hearing more about your plans. Miss U!
We have got to set up a Skype time! I really miss speaking with you… I want to hear about your trip. What times work for you? Weekends obviously work the best but I don’t have a problem waking up earlier on the weekdays for a nice chat… let me know and we can try to work something out.
When you coming to Hong Kong??!
Claire
