I just received an e-mail from the company that they are proud to offer a room at a hotel near the KL airport for our exit date. As long as we need one. Not really sure what that means, but I looked at the hotel they were offering. It brought back a flood of memories of the journey here. OMG, the hotels we stayed at on the journey to our own states and areas declined in acceptability as the trip progressed. I was so close to just getting back on a plane when I saw the final destination 3 years ago. The only thing that kept me here was that I was travelling with a colleague and kind of felt I could not just ditch the whole thing and leave him alone. I am glad I didn't, but this new offer is in that league. A better place regarding amenities, well maybe better. It touts itself as a room with a 5 star bed at 1 star prices. Eek. But the clincher that made me decide to decline the offer was that I had to rent a towel if I wanted to have a shower. Actually considered having a shower in the morning and using the bed sheet, but maybe I have to provide that too. I will find my own place at the airport and come home to civilization.
What I will miss: again, not much. But new friends and quaint experiences in my community will be missed
What I look forward to: a public restroom that does not leave you with looking like you slogged through ankle deep water, with paper to dry yourself and soap to cleanse yourself
from the last few days in Canada and forward, you can join me in my thoughts and actions as I learn how to live in a country that I had not even known the exact location until Ryan was there a few years ago. Some days I have rants and other days I have adventures, but every day is a learning experience that I embrace and thank God I was given the opportunity to know and to be. I might even upload a picture of me in this place I now call home – for now.
