Trip Overview (Author: J) (Photo: Cartagena) This is a belated trip report for our March 10-19 trip to Colombia’s Caribbean Coast. I will do a day-by-day report of the trip. But I have learned that starting with a summary is the way to go, given how long it takes me to write up each trip.Continue reading “Trip Report – Colombia’s Caribbean Coast (March 10-19, 2023)”

Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Days 14 and 15
May 20, 2022 – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Author: J) After 4 long months, it is time to wrap up this trip report with our final day in Kuala Lumpur and our flight home, including a stopover at Jewel Changi. When I planned our trip, we knew that I wanted to go to Singapore and PContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Days 14 and 15”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 13
May 19, 2022 – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Author: J) If you are considering visiting Kuala Lumpur (and I hope you are), rest assured that it has lots more to offer than what my family was able to experience. By the time we reached our final destination, we had had lots of early wakeups, full daysContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 13”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report -Day 12
May 18, 2022: Sabah & Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Author: J) Our final day in Borneo was the only one without an early wakeup time. Much to P’s disappointment, we did not request a final river safari, knowing that we were in for a late night. Instead, we slept until a reasonable hour – the sunContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report -Day 12”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 11
May 17, 2022: Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (Author: J) As I mentioned – due to attraction closures — our day 11 itinerary was fairly similar to our day 10 itinerary. That meant an early wakeup for another wildlife watching cruise. Most of the travelers in our boat were interested in looking for monkeys thisContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 11”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 10
May 16, 2022: Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (Author: J) We spent 3 nights at Sukau Rainforest Lodge. When we initially booked our trip, the itineraries for days two and three at the lodge (the two full days) were quite different from one another. Day two was to include river cruises to spot wildlife, whileContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 10”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 9
May 15, 2022: Sandakan, Sepilok, and Kinabatangan River in Sabah, Malaysia (Author: J) Finally, the morning we had been waiting for: our chance to see the famous dancing orangutans of Borneo. Just kidding. We were actually in Borneo to see proboscis monkeys, the primates that P had asked to see many moons ago as anContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 9”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 8
May 14, 2022: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (Author: J) The Shangri La’s location makes it a great base from which to explore the surrounding area, including Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. But with only one full day at the hotel, we chose to relax and enjoy the resort’s amenities, rather than venturing out toContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 8”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 7
May 13, 2022: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia (Author: J) After 5 wonderful nights at the Fullerton, it was time to check out. Because we had an afternoon flight to Kota Kinabalu (the only flight I could find between Singapore and KK at the time I booked), we were in no rush. We began the dayContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 7”
Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 5
May 11, 2022 – Singapore (Author: J) Our third full day in Singapore began much like the prior two. We were up early – though not as early as the day before – and headed down to breakfast around 7:30. We were greeted by name and seated quickly. Adjusting to the time zone meant thatContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 5”
