OUR SE ASIA TRIP BEGINS TOMORROW!

Finally after a year of planning, tomorrow my wife and I begin our 25th wedding anniversary trip for 3 week thru KL,Yogyakarta,BKK,Hanoi,Angkor and LP.
The routing will be
JFK-LAX-KUL
KUL-YOGYA-KUL
KUL-HANOI-KUL
KUL-LP
LP-SIEM REAP
SIEM REAP-BKK
BKK-KUL-LAX-JFK
We have used Delta FF miles for Malaysian First class all thru to Hanoi and back and flying local airlines with KL as the hub.I want to thank all you fodorites who were so generous to share their experiences and give helpful advice. the Boston GTG served as a good appetizer.

will post trip details when I get back .

Have a great trip. Malaysian Air first class is absolutely fabulous!!! A great way to start what I'm sure will be an incredible trip.

Have a great trip...sounds like a wonderful itinerary for such a special occasion.

BTW, I think I read in a post that you are in Ridgefield? I'm in Weston...we will have to do a NY/CT GTG sometime.

Ah-- Ridgefield, CT is one of my favorite places. I spent almost every weekend for 20 years in North Salem so I know it well.

boblax-
Jan sounds good to me....I will need warm thoughts to get through the winter until my trip in May.
Laurieco is in NY and Craig near Hartford...so maybe we could have a small group at least.

Looking forward to your trip report.

We're in CT, too. Missed the Boston GTG, but would love to try to join for a CT GTG. I work in Danbury, not far from Ridgefield, and I think half the people who work at my company live in Ridgefield...

Be extra careful of a pickpockets gang while in KL. They usually happen in a crowded place especially just before the subway train door closes.

Someone will drop some coins, pretend to pick them up but grab your leg and start shaking. Next you know, your wallet went missing. You will not realise at all when someone shakes your leg. It's a foolproof method. If that happens to you, just kick off the person and leave the scene.

Kishore-you should be there by now. Hope you're having a great time. Your trip sounds exciting. Good to meet you at the Boston GTG. Where exactly is Connecticut?

Have a ball on your anniversary trip Boblax! And a GTG in CT sounds good to me. I've never been to CT..., but January? How scary is that...I, like, don't do cold weather. Smiles. I'll be in Bangkok in December and January soaking up the warm before returning to cold L.A. when it's down to 65-70 degrees in January. Ooh...how chilly...let me get out the Eddie Bauer full-length, down coat! Happy Travels!
