On the road again...
by
mike
I'm sitting in the Orchid Club Lounge at the Park Royal Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Yes, folks - I'm back in the world of the travelling! Sure, it's a reasonably short 2 week trip that'll take me from the comfort of the currently not-so-sunny city of Perth, up here to KL and then into the elongated 'S' that is Vietnam.
I'm not doing it alone this time round though - since it's such a short trip, I've employed the help of some travel professionals (apart from myself) to get me there; on Tuesday I'll be starting a 2 week trip with Intrepid from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh city taking in all the sites Vientam can throw at me!
I'm only spending today here in KL, and I do plan on making the most of it so will keep this short. This morning was spent relaxing before taking a stroll down to the Starhll Gallery and then over to KLCC at the Petronas Towers. I was here a little over a year ago and have taken in most of the sites but it's still fun to revisit it all.
I'm also in the process of trying to get some more writing done - not of the blog variety, more something in the vain of travel writing, or maybe a book. It's still early days - but I'll try to get this site updated if anything comes of it. After all, it's the stories in these pages that brought it all on.
But more on that later...for now I have to sign off and head over to the spa - it's time for my massage.
Until then...
Mike

OK, so it's been a long time between drinks, but that's what happens when you stop travelling the world. It's also the case when your computer mysteriously blows up one afternoon and you don't get a new one for a few months (yes, my new laptop is arriving in two days, to say I'm excited is a bit of an understatement).
Anyway, this is the first of hopefully a lot more updates, but will be brief. Kings is back in Perth until Saturday so we've managed to catch up a few times. I'm currently in a 12-week health/fitness challenge through my work, depending on results before and after pics MAY be posted in late May - more on this later.
I have tentative plans to jet off again this year, possibly to work in Canada for a year or two. Nothing is set in stone as yet, but I'm thinking September-November to leave and travel for 3-6 months and then figure out what's what.
If anyone is still reading this, drop me a comment below with something :)
til later....

By the by, I'm in Dubai
by
Kings
Hello everyone! Hot on the heals of Mike's Dubai post I am also in Dubai but not in the business lounge like Mike. Instead I am sitting on the floor near the gate that I will go though in about 45 minutes on my way to London! The Dubai airport is a little strange, there are a lot of people sleeping on the floors - I am not sure what the deal is with that.
Oh by the way, I'm moving to London again - yeh - I have been pretty slack with the whole mikeandkings thing over the last say two years - but since I am living overseas again perhaps I'll start posting again.
I will get into London at about 12:30pm and about 30 minutes after that Mike will be arriving from Dublin so we're gonna meet up at the tube station and head into London together - just like 4 years ago.
So anyhow, for those of you who still monitor this site - stay tuned over the next few weeks for my adventures of getting a flat, job and all that stuff.
