Sunday October 26th Today is our last day in Malaysia. We had an 11:30 flight out of KL so we left our hotel around 8:30 to leave ourselves plenty of time and took a taxi rather than a bus. We hung around the airport for a little bit and picked up some free internet and were getting live updates on the Phillies and Penn State games. The flight was uneventful which was good. Slap Shot and I were both going on a FDP to an orphanage at 2pm which me...

We ended up meeting a professor and another student at the airport. This professor is ...

Of the other students left who did not go to Lankawi, the others went to Kuala Lumpur. My immediate group of friends were all doing FDP's ...

Wednesday October 22nd- arrive Penang Happy Birthday mom! Today I got up for port as usual around 7ish and went to get some breakfast. It was cloudy and rainy which really excited me because I had a walking tour in the morning. They told us last night at the logistical pre-port that we will be tendering to the shore, meaning we are anchoring in the bay and taking the life boats to the dock. I predicted that this would be fun for the first ride and then ...
