Just the beginning...

This is just for practice, trying to see what a blog shapes up to look like...

So at the moment I am still frantically planning out my big trip, hoping the stars will fall into alignment pretty soon!  6 weeks is the longest time away I will have spent in the last 15 years.  Pretty daunting to pack enough hair product for 6 weeks and still come below my 15 kg baggage limit!  Also trying to narrow it down to which clothing is absolutely essential.  Wish me luck with that.  I have chronic packing issues ;)

Why Malaysia and Indonesia?  I have loved just about every moment (if I add them up, it comes to about 12 weeks total thus far) I've spent in those two countries in the past.  This will be my 4th time in Malaysia and my 3rd in Indonesia and there is still a ton of stuff to see in both places that I have not yet seen!   Top it off with amazing food and incredibly kind and friendly people, and you can see why it wasn't too hard a decision.  I am hoping that this time I will hit the tolerable weather I never found in Borneo ... :)
