Yesterday started early in the morning. I boarded a plane at 12:05 a.m. in the Cochin Airport, which is about an hour from Fort Kochi. I tried to get some sleep during the flight but too many things were racing through my head. I was headed to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia for a stay, realizing I had under budgeted my time. It was going to be necessary to pack a lot into a two-night stay.
I had a productive and good day. It wasn’t perfect but it was pretty amazing…not so much for my wife. She is tryIng to pack a lot into her days too. We have been away from each other for longer than we have ever been since we met 43 years ago, and she is packing as much babysitting of grandkids in as she can, before she boards her own plane to meet me halfway around the globe. One set of grandkids is walking distance from our house; the other set is a 3 1/2 hour drive. An hour from home, on her way back from visiting the second set, she realized she left her smartphone at their house. Nothing she could do but turn around and get it. When you want things to work like clockwork it doesn’t always work that way. She is a planner and her bag for the trip has been packed for weeks. Hopefully, that mistake will be the end of her trouble. I will be happy when I meet her in the airport.
The lead photo through the passenger-side window (in Malaysia like many of the counties I have traveled in recently, the driver is on the right side) is not outstanding but it is a nod to a few people. If you look carefully, you can see the top of the KL Tower, one of many tall structures in Kuala Lumpur with more being constructed. I don’t have time to talk about my busy day now; this one is going to be busy too, but please check out the rest of the pictures by clicking here. I promise there are some good ones.
