The First Entry
Tuesday, February 21st, 20066 Days and counting…
On February 28th Jen and I will find our way to New York and hop on a plane headed for Anchorage Alaska, then to Taipei in Taiwan, and after a 3 hour layover will board yet another plane headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which will arrive on March 2nd. That is over 24 hours of flying which will result in March 1st becoming non-existant to us.
After a night and day in Kuala Lumpur with Serina and Saras, our contact people through this whole process, we will head out to the east coast town of Mersing and catch a ferry out to Pulau Tioman, our home for at least the next month. We have a chalet on the beach that was provided to us by the Malaysian Nature Society, the organization that we are volunteering with, and will be teaching 40+ Malaysians the English language in the evenings.
The island has internet access depending on the weather so we should be able to update this “blog” frequently. Check out the links for more information on Malaysia, the organization, and the island.
