Planning for Winter in June

I find the process of our planning for winters fascinating. It is an organic technique spread out over many, many months. Of course, we start with a very healthy lead-in and tend to purchase broad items such as flights first. Then, we continue to add particulars as the time nears. The last details happen in real time as the activities unfold. (I wish I'd known about the field of logistics as a course of study when a teenager thinking about possible career options.)

Today, we filled in some intermediate details and added flights and a hotel room to next winter's plans. It's not all that many months until our October 31st departure date! Apparently, last winter's experiences are colouring our current decisions. We realized we have a favourite part of Kuala Lumpur and wanted to spend several in-transit nights in our familiar area. For Jay and I that means being right in the thick of things.
