Malaysia here I come.

I'm writing this post from the airport in Krabi, Thailand. Steph and I just finished a fabulous four days at the island of Hat Rai Leh (aka the most beautiful place I've ever been). It was fantastic, a very chill atmosphere with not that many people and absolutely no cars or roads. The food was great and the beaches were gorgeous. It was extremely hard to leave.

But leave we did, and we're now waiting for our flight to the last leg of our trip; Kuala Lumpur. I'm really stoked to finally see this town/country that I've heard so much about. We'll be there for a couple days; hopefully enough time to see some sites and take in the crazy Malay/Chinese/Indian environment. Then we hop a plane back to Cambodia on Tuesday. Steph flies out Wednesday morning and I move out of my apartment and fly back Thursday morning after an 8 hour layover in Bangkok.

On the van ride to the airport I started to feel a real desire to head home. Maybe it's because I'm getting more emails in advance of my upcoming school year and I'm starting to wish I was home to handle them in the same time zone and prepare myself mentally/physically/spiritually. Maybe I'm just ready to get out of here. Either way, I can't wait to get back to the U.S., though I'll try to stifle that excitement long enough to enjoy a couple days in Malaysia as well as my final day in Phnom Penh. I know the second I get home I'm going to miss all of this as well.

Was it more beautiful than Garst Mill Park?

I'm so glad you didn't get stuck in Hat Rai Ley living in a commune growing illegal drugs and watching your friends get eaten and killed by sharks.
