22/5 Kl - Perth

Friday 22^nd On the ground in KL

We had to check through immigration and then caught the shuttle out to our airport hotel, where we had booked a day room from 8am to 6pm. This worked stunningly well. We fell straight asleep until 4pm then packed, checked out, took the shuttle back to the main airport (5 minutes) and then the public shuttle to the budget terminal (almost an hour $1). Every time we travel this stretch it reminds us of the time we almost missed our flight to Langkawi  and had our terrified taxi driver flying straight through red lights at full speed.

We sauntered into the terminal and settled in Maccas in the wifi area with our own wall plug to keep the battery going. And here we are. Our flight is on the board, on time and the checkins are open.

All things going to plan, we will be in Perth at 6am, Stephie will come and fetch us and take us home. Amanda is there with Nathan. We have this mental picture of setting up a skype session with Lissa in the back room, then walking in and surprising her. Whether this happens at 7.30 when we get home or whether we wait until the afternoon when we wake up remains to be seen.

Just when you are thinking that this is all over, we will finish off within a few days so you know how the Great Skype Plot pans out. And don’t forget -  we still have until late October before we go back to work (or one of us does). At the moment we are leaning in favour of doing it in Asia but having said that, the cruise bargains in the Mediterranean are incredible. Stay tuned. Thank you for following our progress this far.
