Travel Day, Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) to Phuket (Thailand)

We were up at 5:00 in the morning, on a shuttle to the Hong Kong International Airport at 6:00 and flying to Malaysia at 8:45. We spent several hours Kuala Lumpur International Airport before flying to Phuket Thailand. 

Nice headlines we are having lately in the news. 

We won't be picking up a newspaper for a while! 

Red Alert for MERS

Death Toll Rises from Earthquake on Malaysia

Fears of Tiananmen Square Haunt Hong Kong

Kadena Air Force Base Ramps up Activity in Light of China's Increased Military Presence

Boat Full of Starving Asylum Seekers May Be Lost Off the Coast of Thailand

Dax gets to eat 3 trays. Isaiah and I don't like airplane food 

(unless it's a sausage or chicken roll  on the way to Okinawa or back to Hong Kong).

Landing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  It's a jungle down there!

Just riding the train over to get some food while hanging out at the airport in Malaysia. 

Little did we know that this lunch would be our last meal until the next morning.

Landing in Phuket, Thailand. We flew Malaysia Airlines two times today without incident. 

Great airline, great service! 

Well, at least our plane didn't disappear and the Russians did not shoot us down out of the sky. Life is good.

Slowest immigration process since we landed back in the USA last summer. 

Still uneventful, just a bit slow. 

Our luggage was waiting for us and we found our own taxi. 

Dax negotiated a good deal. 

Our apartment is about 30 minutes from the airport.

This is our taxi driver. Of course, we always photograph the driver's ID.

This is one of the 3 people our taxi driver stopped to ask directions. 

Yes, a taxi driver asking for directions. 

That is how remote our apartment is--it's PERFECT!

Next post will be our first full day in Thailand!
