We're back in Waterloo now. Flight from Hong Kong was uneventful, just the way I like them. By the way, here's a shot of one of the engines just outside my window. Man, they're big. This is a Boeing 777. It's amazing this jet can get off the ground. It's awesome every time I see them do it.
Of course we had our glass of champagne when we got on board.
Joanne, after hers was gone...she's smiling though ('cause we're going home).
Joanne & Dan found their cars in our garage, just where they left them. Unless they see gas missing, they'll know Dave didn't take them for a spin. We told Dave to make sure he tops up the cars before we get back.
We talked in the last couple of days about "our favourite..." (this or that). It's certainly been an experience. And as we always say, we appreciate what we have at home when we travel abroad. We all loved Singapore as a city with lots to offer. But it's more like us in terms of living standards. So it's easy. Our least favourite was probably Kuala Lumpur. For a city that size, we thought they sure could do a lot more with infrastructure. That's the stuff that seems to be lacking anywhere in Malaysia and Indonesia (at least in Bali - I guess I can't speak for Jakarta or other places, but I assume they're no different). Having said that, there were very few places, if any, where people were not friendly and helpful. And if they were happy, that's all that matters.
Like I said, it's been an experience. Probably areas we'll never go back to, so we can stroke them off our list.
