Smelling the Roses
Since we last chatted, I took the train up to Butterworth, the ferry over to Penang, putzed around Penang, and did the reverse all over again. Now, I'm sitting in SFO waiting for a connecting flight, sort of, almost, kind of, nearly home. Without going into too much detail about the past few days, some words of advice: don't expect to sleep much, even if the train has overnight bunks. Augment hostel stays with hotel stays. You need to recouperate when you travel. Finally, I've got to stop trying to see so much on each trip. Seeing Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Penang in 6 days was probably too much. I either need more time or less destinations. I will likely be adjusting future travel plans a bit. Stop and smell the roses, hm?
