Today I left my favorite place in the world.  I left Krabi Tropical Beach Resort.  Before I even the left the place reality hit me.  The driver who picked me up from the hotel almost left me behind.  He didn't want to wait 2 minutes for the hotel to make me a sandwich to take with me.  He even went as far as to take my bag out of the van and throw it on the ground.  So I had to run over there and grab my bag and jump in the van to avoid being left behind.  Then he leaves me at the wrong place, but luckliy he came back for me.  About a billion hours later I finally made it to Penang, Malaysia.  I am just gald to be here with close friends I have not seen in about 10 years.  My friend Balan picked me up and we had a nie dinner together catching up on old times.  We had chicken curry with naan and tandoori fish.  With a couple of Tiger beers of course.  We had a great dinner.  I am so glad to be here with my friends.  I am just sad that it took me 10 years to come back and visit.  Right now I am sitting around with the family just enjoying each others company and watching some Indian television.
