So after 2 months, 7 pieces of luggage, 2 carseats, a stroller, more than 28 hours of travel from start to finish and 2 jet lagged babies- we are home! We had a wonderful time. Looking
back, we did accomplish what we set out to do. We will have some wonderful memories that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We also really enjoyed getting to know my aunt (dad's sister), uncle and their family as well. They are two very special, kind people and we will miss them so much. Malaysia would not have been the same without my uncle. We didn't feel that we were totally on vacation, but instead that we lived there for a bit. We broke the routine yes and visited a ton of great places but did regular stuff as well like naps, story time, park time and going to the gym.
Boy, do we have some stories and learnings also--- this is a PG blog, not all of them can be published here. I've also only posted about a few of our activities, trips and adventures. We have thousands of photos and it will take me lots of time to sort through them.
In the meantime, we've missed you Canada! It's great to be back to our friendly country, shopping in our old haunts, driving on our smooth roads, and lounging around in our sweet house. But seriously, what's with the weather? It is
cold for this time of year. I'm looking forward to getting back into our routine, Cassia beginning her new school, Darin beginning work in a bit and doing some cleaning and sorting of our home and some self exploration of my own.... and my detox has begun. After two months of consuming more white stuff than I usually do, the scale shows it... and this being 10 days before we head to NYC for my brother's wedding! I've got my work cut out for me.
