After a late night in the Beijing airport we finally boarded our plane to Qatar, a small peninsula off of Saudi Arabia, ready for a good sleep 35,000 ft in the air. However, just as the sheer size of the new Beijing terminal 3 amazed us, the luxury of this middle-eastern, barely-known airline made us feel like we were in business class. Besides the glorious wonders of exit-row seating (thanks to
Holy cow! I'm no accomplished world traveler, but I've seen my share of airports around the world and Beijing's new Terminal 3 is - for lack of a better word - MASSIVE. Most airports have some sort of rail or bus system to transport passengers between the different terminals, but here it is so big that this one terminal alone has its own train system!Ok, let me back up for just a moment before I
Day 2. Had breakfast at Café Harapan then waited at the lounge for the mini coach to take us to the Sarawak Cultural Village for a half day tour. It costs us RM70 each for entrance and fare. Unable to find the SCV tickets even after searching twice the room but the tour operator Saiful said it was OK. The ride to SCV took 45 mins. On arrival we were given a passport booklet each to be stamped at
Our last day in Kuching. We did not request for morning call so we can get up leisurely. I woke up at 7.30am and the sun was already up, over the Hilton, Crowne Plaza and the Riverbank Suites and shining obliquely into our room. I had awakened 4 times last night because of the coconut drink I think. After readying ourselves we walked to the Chinese Food Court again and had the same food as we too
The visit Kuching was unplanned. During early January 2007, Air Asia had a promotion to launch the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 and offered a million FREE seats. As I have never been to Kuching I tried and successfully bought 2 return tickets, both free, and paid just RM260 for the airport taxes and fuel surcharges.On the departure day in July the AirBus 320 took off at noon. It was a relatively new

Boston dates back to the 1630 purchase of what is now Boston Common from William Blaxton by Puritan colonists from England. It started out as a peninsula with three hills (the Trimount), but developers in the 18th and 19th centuries excavated the hills to fill in the back bay (an estuary of the Charles River) and increase the city's land area (only Beacon Hill remains partially intact).All in all, Boston proper is home to six hundred thousand people on 130 square kilometres (50 square miles), for a population density of 4,600 people per square kilometre (12,000 per square mile). Only New York, Chicago and San Francisco in the US are denser. Between its density, its beautiful architecture and its wide sidewalks with shade trees, Boston is tremendously walkable.
I thought the beginning of my road trip was quite auspicious. In retrospect, I should have found that more suspicious. Far, far too much went right.• The girls played happily in the back seat. For hours. I didn’t have to pull over once.• The McDonald’s Drive Thru personnel were not only able to find the muffin flavour I requested, but managed to hand me the debit machine in a way that didn’t incline me to drop it or tangle the cord in my hair like I often do.• Becca fell asleep. For longer than the usual ten minutes. For a full hour even.• I was able to pick up a radio station or two. A rarity when driving through such a mountainous region. I even liked most of the songs. Also a rarity.• I did not once, not even the slightest bit, veer into oncoming traffic.• I didn’t even have to slap my face repeatedly to keep myself awake. • Despite doing the trip husband-less and with two small children, I made the five hour drive in four and a half hours.• I did n
