New York and Pennsylvania - Day 1

Well, we're setting off on another crazy adventure today. We started off in our rented Impala at about 8:30 am from Toronto. We are driving down to Washington D.C. on our Home-school American History/Geography/Social Studies tour. We will drive across to Las Vegas, following Historical route 66 once we get to Oklahoma. There wasn't a lot to see in New York state in the rain. I mean, I'm sure there's lots to see, but we are really trying to get down into Maryland and beyond, but this was a really nice bridge over a very pretty river. And of course, the opposite to the Andes, the Allegheny Mountains. Yes, here we fielded the question of when do you demote a Mountain - just like Pluto lost it's "planet status" Anyway we passed through the Allegheny Big Hill Range. Aodhan was a little concerned when we got to some signs that said "no passing" as he felt sure that we needed to pass them to get to D.C. Hmmm... what to do This was a really cool gate - s...

Kuala Lumpur

And a million vacations is you’ve got in mind… Max Webster So after scrounging through my wallet, and digging out $20US emergency money and adding it to the pesos we still had on us, we were able to pay the 700 peso each terminal fee to fly international out of Kalibo - so add that extra $20 to each ticket… The flight, unlike the recent flights of some of my friends, was uneventful. No 32 hour delay, or loading and unloading repeatedly. We got into Kuala Lumpur Airport, and after a small argument with the “free” airport wifi, I managed to order us an Uber to go downtown. Ok, sidetrack here, is it just me, or is a lot of international airport wifi just plain stupid. In some airports, they want you to “sign up” for their free wifi, and get an sms with a code to enter to activate. Did they think that some people might not have a sim card that works? Like, am I supposed to buy a sim card for my four or six hour stop over so that I can get this sms messag...
