Hang on for once again Captain Wife and her intrepid Crew (of 1...moi) will take the Eldership out again for yet another installment of the Asian Mega Tours. Long time reader will recall the first Asian Mega Tour started 10 years ago almost to the day! In the decade that followed we had a second Asian Mega Tour, tours to the Near East Asia, the Caucasus, and of course our spectacular Around the World in 72 Days Tour featuring East Asia and Southeast Asia among other destinations.
Our very first Asian Mega Tour boasted (or wailed about, I'm not sure which) going to:
To show you our maturity and acknowledgement of our age this trip will only consist of"
- Five Countries
- Six Cities
- Nine Air Flights
- Two long ground transports
See! Look at that restraint.
Of course that is somewhat offset by the fact that we are adding an entirely new continent this time. Here is a quick preview of our upcoming itinerary.
First stop - Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia - Current abode of the mythical Queendom of Pulandia.
Next stop - Phuket, Thailand
Then, a hop over to...Western Australia!
Coming back to SE Asia we will be in - Johor Bahru, Malaysia
During all this we pass in and out of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia not less than four times
Tomorrow we depart for San Francisco. We stay overnight and then self-transfer to a flight taking us to Kuala Lumpur where we overnight again. We finally catch a short flight that gets us to Medan. There is simply no quick way to get from Albuquerque to Medan.
So prepare yourselves for almost 7 weeks of de-I travel posting.
