I suspect I’ve used that blog post title before, which is why I’m glad the permalinks are now by post number and not title because otherwise hilarity would ensue. Anyway… so, Gene was sick starting Thursday night. He even missed work all day on Friday. I know! Escandalo! We had dinner at the Mediterranean restaurant…

Malaysia: A Look Back in Humidity (Pt. 3)
I once wrote a scene where the main character has just hit the jackpot and is reclining in luxury. One morning, she wakes up, pads out to the kitchen and sits down. She stretches and thinks “What do I have to do today?” and she realizes, happily, the answer is “Nothing.” That is pretty much…
Malaysia: A Look Back in Humidity (Pt 2)
(BTW, I have called these posts “A Look Back” although I’m only one week into this and I’m still sitting in the hotel in KL). So, approximately 800 hours after we left Cheesecake City, we finally make it to our layover in Frankfort, Germany. We knew that our layover on the way to KL was…
Malaysia: A Look Back in Humidity (Pt.1)
So the story begins a week ago, back at the house in Cheesecake City. It’s 5:30 at night, the bags are packed (I’d even put White Dog in my carryon). It’s Halloween but since our ride to the airport was to pick us up at 6 I hadn’t bought any candy. We never have any…
Malaysia: The Reaaaaal Asia
(that’s the catchprase for a Malaysian tourism campaign, so I have been treated to seeing it and hearing it a trillion times since…well, technically we were still in the air the first time I heard it). (So yeah, definitely the real Asia – I can’t get real bacon to save my soul). (And I’m rapidly…
Oh, Mr. Sandman…
Places I have slept in the last 96 hours (or however many hours it has been since we left Cheesecake City): Flight from Cheesecake to Frankfort (only an hour or two, should have taken a Lunesta) Flight from Frankfort to KL while watching “The Promotion” Massage table at the hotel in KL Taxi from our…
OMG I’m in Malaysia
We are here in Kuala Lumpur now. Our flight from Frankfurt arrived at 6:30 AM local time (KL is exactly 12 hours ahead of Cheesecake City) and we were at the hotel by quarter til 8. This city is so neat (so far – all I have seen is the airport, the inside of a…
23 hours til departure…
This time tomorrow we’ll be up in the air. Yaaaay! There is still so much to do. I need to pack my carry on bag, finish packing my big bag and – of course – more work! After all the years where I felt like I was going it alone in payroll, it is so…
A crazy dream…
So I dreamt (dreamed? one of those) that Gene and I were flying to Malaysia via Germany (which we are). I know our itinerary pretty thoroughly and I know that the planes are big ones (which YES is at least 10% of the reason I agreed to this silliness) and I am really really looking…

Made it home from our trip through the Great Lakes region (well, Indianapolis and Columbus) about twenty minutes ago. So, so glad to be home.
