Busy Weekends of Leisure

We've had two weekends in Chennai since our weekend in KL. We try to pick one day per weekend to stay at home and give our driver the day off. The interesting thing for us is that a day at home used to mean household chores and yard work. No more! We eat a long breakfast and chat, surf the web, clean our closets, sit by the pool, read, watch TV, go for a walk, swim. Some times we'd like ot pop out for a cup of coffee but it just doesn't seem worth having the driver come in an hour from his house to drive us for 20 minutes.

More Kuala Lumpur Tidbits

Just a little more about our KL experience:

We enjoyed watching our fellow guests at the tea times and happy hours in the hotel lounge. At tea time there were small sandwiches, fruit, and little pastries. Happy hour got more elaborate with sushi and some hot dishes. And, of course, the happy hour crowd got happier and louder the longer they were there.

Too Close for Comfort

Just saw this headline about snakes in the Kuala Lumpur airport this week. That is WAYYYY to close for comfort.
