I’ve always said that travel was an adventure,
but as to getting there

being half the fun…in this case, not so much. Our
adventure began with an announcement from out pilot, ‘We have a mechanical
issue and we’re landing in Tokyo rather than Hong Kong’. What followed was
several hours of bus rides, getting into a hotel room and ‘making do’ with
toiletries they provided, finding our luggage, hunting for the next plane, and
finally getting to our destination too late to make the first excursion I had
planned. However, I was grateful that the pilot made the choice to take care of
the mechanical issue rather than flying to Hong Kong with a plane full of
people who had been exposed to human waste for more hours than absolutely
necessary. So once I was in Kuala Lumpur, my plans had to change, and that’s
absolutely what’s expected when one is having an adventure. I first wrote about KL in 2014 (see Flying
around in Kuala Lumpur); I learned a lot more about it on this trip.
