Going With the Flow - In Kuala Lumpur

We had exit row seats, and so had "oodles" of leg room. Slept well on the plane. Trip was over thirteen hours but by sleeping through most of it the time went quickly.

Had no trouble transferring to our hotel in KL.

This is a whole adventure we weren't expecting, and hadn't planned on... until a few weeks before we left we realised the travel agent had not changed our return flights as asked. (Despite all the documentation.) So this stay is a "gift" (at someone else's expense) - and a pretty good one at that! The room they provided (below) was "adequate" I guess.

The Sheraton Hotel is in the middle of the city, is five star, and we're on the club level. After exploring the place, checking out the eating options, the gym and the pool, we lazed in our room. At some point we realised we probably should have something to eat.

New Years Eve - which would account for it, but a DJ was on the mezzanine floor and music was pounding (!!) through the whole place. Everything looked fantastic... decorations... an enormous sack of balloons waiting to be freed... people everywhere... party hats of the sparkly bright colour variety at every eating place...
...just didn't suit us. So we retired to our room on the 37th floor and ordered up some food.
What a way to see in the New Year of 2012!!!

Our room service arrived after 11:30pm. A table set with crisp linen, silver and white crockery. There we were, in the window, looking out at all the bright lights of Kuala Lumpur and sipping from our cups, as...
...the fireworks exploded all around us!!! The main show off to our left, and countless other smaller shows in a miriad of locations. It was truly incredible!!!

We went to sleep later, aware that life can be (and is) uncertain, but how thankful we can be for every good thing God sends our way.

To all our friends, I want to tell you right here and now how much we both appreciate your friendship. xxxxxxxxxxx etc.
