Gotta love cheap flights!

This morning, I booked my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore - all for the low low price of $55 Canadian! Of course, it has a restriction - no luggage, only a carry-on. Still, can't beat that anywhere in Canada, that is for sure.

So I land in KL, spend the night with friends and then jet out to Singapore the next day for two full days / nights, leaving early on the morning of the third day. And with the 1 hour flight time, I will be back in KL by 10:00 or so with loads of time to make it to the train station and hop on a train heading for Ipoh and Penang - for a two days stint. After that, it's all Kuala Lumpur with my friend with a possible trip out of town for the weekend to see Kuala Selangar and Sekinchan. And that seems like an awesome weekend to be honest - a large nature preserve (my camera will be happy), rice paddies, a fishing village and a beach, all in one weekend. :)

The last five days in and around KL, seeing the mosques, markets, Batu Caves, Zoo, etc will be a blast too - as will having Thanksgiving dinner in Malaysia!

Tokyo follows for two days and then it will be back home and back to work next day - Im nuts! LOL!

Six weeks until departure!

Finalized my flights and have the tickets in hand! In six weeks it will be a crazy cross world dash from Quebec City to Kuala Lumpur. And the bonus is, I was finally able to reduce my layovers in Japan and Toronto on the return trip, giving me two days in Tokyo. Not nearly enough time for sure, but two days is better than no days! :)

Added bonus, Narita airport has luggage storage lockers for like five bucks a day, good for use up to eight days, meaning I won't have to lug my big backpack around Japan with me. Since I'll only be spending one night in Tokyo, in a capsule hotel no less, I will only need the minimal amount of supplies in a smaller day pack. Exciting!

All that remains in finalizing my Singapore visit and all of the hostels I will need while abroad. And of course, plotting out my days in Kuala Lumpur and figuring out how to get to Ipoh, Penang and Selangar/Sekinchan. That's the easy stuff, now that the more difficult task is dealt with (the flights).

More to follow!
