Kuala Lumpur

Our time in Malaysia has been short and sweet. We arrived late last night, spent the day in the heart of Kuala Lupur, and will fly out tomorrow morning. We spent most of our time at the KLCC (Kuala Lupur City Centre), just a short air-conditioned walk from our apartment. The area has been built around the famous Petronas Towers and houses, among other things, a 50 acre, tropically landscaped park, which consists of walking trails, a dancing fountain, a fantastic wading pool, and the most impressive playground we have ever seen.

These boys had a big time getting soaked with their regular clothes on!

The most awesome playground we have ever been to (and we've been to a bunch)!
This picture doesn't even show half of the playground equipment.

A unique way to go up

We had a wonderful dinner at the base of the towers
and were delighted to see them lit up after dark.

Where in the World are the Watts? Part 4

Not all of our time here on Koh Samui has been idle. In fact, Jeff and I have both been working hard (from an office with a killer view!) to finalize the last bit of our RTW trip. All the when/where blanks are now filled in on the spreadsheet, and since my previously published itinerary runs out when we leave Koh Samui, I thought some of you might be interested to know what's on the horizon for us in the next few months.

This chart also includes our U.S. re-entry plan, which we have finally settled on, through much discussion and soul-searching. We don't believe our nomadic hearts we will ever be satisfied with a truly stationary lifestyle, but to accomplish some of the particular goals of our family in the next few years, we will need a home base in the U.S. We have chosen the Lewisville/Flower Mound area of Texas, because it offers many opportunities to help us meet our goals. You will no doubt be hearing more about the particulars in future posts, but for now, this should be enough information to help you understand the last line of the chart.
