I’ve returned from a much-needed getaway to Northern California. Although sadly, I still didn’t unplug completely from work, I still didn’t attend three full day’s worth of meetings either. And for the first time since I was 16, I wasn’t in San Francisco for some work purpose! It’s crazy to realize that all of the time that I’ve spent in… Read more »
Our Malaysia Airlines flight from KLIA to Singapore was on-time and uneventful. While the 737 had a very new interior, the seat pitch was really tight. I’m not often grateful that I’m short; but on this flight, I was glad my legs weren’t supermodel-length or my knees would have been bruised being smashed up against the seat in front of… Read more »
Our Malaysia Airlines flight from Phuket to Kuala Lumpur was delayed, so we had an extra hour to loiter around the Phuket International Airport before we boarded the older vintage 737. The seats were not the newest but had a semi-decent amount of legroom. The short hour-ish flight featured a small snack and juice service, a bonus meal I was… Read more »
Although I felt that we really didn’t get a chance to explore as much of Bangkok as I would have liked, I was happy to be headed to a place where I could put my toes in the sand. Phuket is not exactly the hidden island paradise of Thailand though. I originally wanted to go to Langkawi in Malaysia instead;… Read more »
Checking in for our domestic Bangkok Airways flight in the Chiang Mai airport took less than five minutes. With some time to kill, we wandered around the gate area and happened to discover a coffee shop that had paprika potato chips! (If you don’t know, paprika potato chips are one of my most favorite snacks ever.) I did my little… Read more »
After a restful night’s sleep, it was time to jump back on the train to Changi Airport to catch our Scoot Air flight up to Chiang Mai. I can understand why the Changi Airport is voted as a top-ranked airport. The signage is easy-to-follow (English is prominent), there’s waterfalls, gardens, shops, restaurants, and other diversions to while away time spent… Read more »
Welcome to the first installment of my trip to Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore! I’m about a week into my adventure and figured I better start writing things down before I forget. There’s so much to see and experience in this part of the world that it would be easy for things to blur together. If you like my ramblings, read… Read more »
(I know what you’re thinking… wait, did she accidentally repost her earlier rant about Air Canada? Read on…) In Halifax on my last day of my trip, I woke up late, loitered around in my room until a late checkout time of 2pm, and then fired up Thor, my most favorite rental car ever. I put the top down since… Read more »
I woke up the early in the morning after the storm grateful that the air temperature had fallen enough for me to get a few hours of good sleep. I blinked the sleep out of my eyes and got packed up, opting to skip breakfast. I had to catch a ferry and there seemed to be some discrepancy online on… Read more »
After exploring Hopewell Rocks, I drove about five hours to Mahone Bay in Nova Scotia, about an hour-ish south of Halifax. Mahone Bay is a cute little fishing village that is starting to become a tourist destination due to its close proximity to Lunenburg, which is a full-fledged tourist town due to its UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Prices for… Read more »
