Okay, so it was more like a sabbatical than a break, but I was just a little burned out and got super lazy. What will I do when I have to take come of someone besides myself?? :) Good thing that's a ways away.
Now...to remember the rest of our days of fun over the holidays. I left off on Day 7 with some pictures of our two days in the jungle. Before we move to Day 8, I have to tell about our way out of the park.
We had to take the boat back to the bus and after about 5 seconds in the water our motor gave out. Waves came crashing in, the guy says, "I fix, I fix" or something like that. We wait. At least 15 minutes. I say take us back, there are plenty of other working boats by now. No, he continues to work. It starts, we move, bam a wave gets us. "Hey mom, can you put your coat over our bags that are sitting up in the front of the boat?" BAM! Head on into a giant wave that drenches us all (puddles on the bus home drenched). Everyone is pissed, the man won't take us back and finally, by a miracle of God, the motor starts and stays on. It was a rough ending to a fun trip, but one I think we can all look back on now and laugh about. Boy, mom was so mad :).
One more day in Malaysia and we're going to try and see some Orangutans at the Rehabilitation center. Feeding hour is at 9:00 and apparently it's the time of year when food is abundant, so we find out there may not be any monkeys. Yesterday - no monkeys. Man, what a gyp! So we wait. They call for those orangutans (oh-rahng-oo-tan) and we wait, quietly. Finally one came and you would think people have never seen a monkey in their life! It was funny.
We watched him/her for half an hour and headed back to pack up. I made a last run to a store to get myself a rug of wood cubes and we headed to the airport with plenty of time to spare. We were back in Singapore for evening and I think we just ordered in food and relaxed. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve!

The rug/mat/whatever it is :), I like it.
LOVE the mat! It looks like it would feel nice on your feet.
