Tomorrow We Fly

Though I am still sitting at my home computer, the adventures of travel have already begun...

Originally we were scheduled to leave around Feb 14th. Then plans changed and preparations sped up as the travel date changed to Feb 7. Which is today, but then there was a wrong-name-on-the tickets-that-is-different-than-the-one-on-the-passport mistake and we had to re-book the entire trip. Oddly enough a travel service called Cheap-O-Air was wonderful about helping us untangle the mess we made.

Yes it was kind of annoying and a little discombobulating, not to mention it took us 90 minutes on a conference call with a lovely man in the Far East to get things squared away, but on the bright side now we get to see Tokyo airport.

I am going to try and get my passport stamped though, our lay over is too short to leave the airport. Supposedly it is a refueling stop.

From Tokyo we fly to Singapore, (which is supposedly an amazing airport, I will let you know,) where we have a 15 hour layover. They have hotels there at the airport that actually rent rooms by the hour for layovers. Genius! So we sleep from midnight until 8 am and then we go on a Fun Vee Hopper City Tour.

In the late afternoon we fly out and arrive in KK, (the cool name for Kota Kinabalu.) around dinner time.

We will be staying in Jasmah's condo which needs repair after tenants trashed it. Hopefully it will not be too gross and we will be able to stay there. If not, more adventures, where to stay.

I will keep you posted.
