| The reason for wanting to leave home in January… |
Pearls of the Orient:
Perhaps if our hero and his fetching bride had been born and raised in a place like San Diego, they wouldn't travel so much. In that city, they haven't had a significant snowfall since 1967. That is the kind of winter weather that Mr. Gym could get used to. Currently in Calgary, people describe the conditions as being 'frigid' and the seasonally used term 'wind-chill', has re-entered the lexicon. So, the intrepid duo are blessed again to be able to escape south and provide you with a record of their trip in this blog.
This expedition is to three pearls of Orient. It will begin with a week in Penang, Malaysia. This is a place that Gym and his lovely sidekick have never visited. They will then cross over the Malay Peninsula to Ko Samui, Thailand, for another week. Lastly, on the way home, they will hang out in Hong Kong for a couple of days, to see how things are going there.
Departure date is December 30, 2026 and the bulk of the air travel will be hosted by Cathay Pacific on a 14-hour leg from Vancouver to Hong Kong. This airline is consistently rated as one of the top five in the world, according to Skytrax. Our travellers also enjoyed a positive experience on one of Cathay’s Boeing 777s in 2023.
Stay tuned!
