Winter on the Beach in Malaysia

Winter on the Beach in Malaysia

We don’t do winters anymore.

Yes, winter can be cozy by the fireplace, with fleecy pj’s, furlined moccasins and a good book. But in winter it’s cold outside, it rains and rains so we don’t want to walk. We can’t do much if any gardening. And sometimes we even have to shovel snow on Salt Spring. But this time we ended up on a white beach in Malaysia…

Magical Malaysia: from Temples to Fireflies

Magical Malaysia: from Temples to Fireflies

It’s a long way from Vancouver to Kuala Lumpur, but our flights were worse than normal. First we flew to San Francisco. There we waited for the flight to Hong Kong.

Instead, we had to follow land: Canada, Alaska, Siberia and China… But it was all worth it.
