A brief update. I have arrived in Penang, Malaysia, after a week at sea. The ship was fantastic, great food, great accomm, nice to be pampered. I am sure I deserve this level of treatment. From now until next Monday the ship will be stopping at ports along the Malay peninsula. I will disembark in Singapore and continue on to Thailand.

All the best.

Well, winter has finally arrived, and I am still in Perth. Been told that there are a number of important family events, birthdays and such that I must spend in Perth before I head off to enjoy myself. Obligations! They just swoop down and attack you.
