Sitting at the Airport- AGAIN

The past couple of days haven't gone as planned. We left Singapore and had a two hour layover in Kuala Lumpur. The flight was delayed twice and we ended up spending 5 hours in the airport. This is the same airport Janet and I spent 6 hours in going to Singapore. Asia Air has it's own terminal which is really small so there is hardly anywhere to sit and not much choice by way of food. We were bummed because today was our only day to see Kuching where we had to spend the night to get another flight to Bintulu today.



We finally made it to Kuching about 9:30 p.m. Our hotel was right by the river and we had a nice walk along the riverside looking at local arts and crafts sold along the way. Kuching is much bigger than I thought. I think I just pictured everything being very remote and rural. Kuching is a nice, quite modern city. I really like it. Very clean and friendly.



We woke up this morning with Air Asia calling saying our flight to Bintulu was delayed from 12:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. This is a huge bummer because today was our day to see Bintulu. Mom and dad have a seminary class that meets at their house on Saturday's so we could meet everyone from their old branch that attends that class. We did get to spend some time seeing Kuching though. We walked around for a while, looked in some local shops, and when we got really hot, went to a movie. We figured we would get to Bintulu in time to go shopping for Sunday dinner and see a little of Bintulu.



Going through security at the airport we found out they further delayed our flight until 9:00! So frustrating! Here's the funny thing. We had a late lunch today at a chicken place in town, when we got to the airport KFC is about the only place to eat so we just had drinks and quesadillas. To make up for delaying the flight, Asia Air gave us free meal tickets to... KFC! We're just going to give the away. No more chicken today!



Hopefully, we will make it to Bintulu without further delays. I've been feeling a little sick today. I'm taking a ton of Airborne. I really don't want to be sick and miss diving next week.
