It was with sadness that we left Gert and Nanda's place. We really had a great time there and developed some good relationships with each other. It was a real blessing that we could spend 3 weeks staying in their house.
We travelled back to LA, dropped of the car that we had hired and spent some time at the airport looking around, having some dinner and getting through the various lines to get to the airplane. The flight was a long one - 21 hours and 5 minutes in total. With a late departure time (11:10 pm) the children were tired, especially Deanne. She did not sleep very well. We eventually put her on the floor where she slept until an hour later when the hostesses asked us to put her back into a seat. Because we had the seats closest to the centre of the plane, the seat arm rests do not go up like in the rest of the plane. As a result she was not able to sleep on the chairs. As the plane was partly empty, we swapped some seats with a person behind us and then she was able to lay down on the seats and sleep - whew.
After the 1.5 hr stop over in Taiwan, she and all the other children slept for a few more hours before we arrived at Kuala Lumpur. Getting trough the airport was a relatively quick and we arrived at our apartment. We have not taken any photos of our apartment and the gardens that surround it. If you wish to here is a web link for some pics - http://www.junesapartment.com/. We have found that it is a well run and secure place to stay. The children have really enjoyed the 3 pools that are on the premises.
We are hopeful of getting out a few times this week to experience some of the sights and sounds of the Malaysian culture. It certainly is different hearing the distant call to morning prayers.
