Day 155 - This is going to be a very long day. We got up at about 7:30 AM and started out by eating our last leisurely breakfast in Kuala Lumpur. Around 10:30, I used my Grab phone app and arranged for a car to KUL, Kuala Lumpur's main international airport.

We checked in and had time for a quick lunch. Our first plane boarded at 4:00 and we travelled nearly five hours to Taipei, Taiwan. We had to wait around for our connecting flight for nearly three and a half hours. We didn't need to buy dinner because we ate on the previous flight and will again soon on the net. As all went well, we finally got on the Vancouver bound at 11:55 PM today.
The interesting part is that after ten and a half more hours in the air we landed at YVR at approximately 7:30 PM. This means the second flight took minus 4 hours and 30 minutes. Flights arriving before they leave have always prompted me to think we were somehow involved in time-travelling science fiction.
Anyway, we plan to go to bed in New Westminster at a normal-sounding time on the same day we got up. Somehow the 15 hours in the air and transfers didn't take as long as they actually did. As I rest my head on my own pillow, I will think we've won a tiny lottery and have managed cheat time by living little longer than was predetermined.
(My blog will resume tomorrow completely on New Westminster, BC time and in New Westminster, BC space.)
