Trip Planning - Part Deux

Sorry, not a lot of postings this week. Have been juggling studying and trip planning this week...stressful!

I lied, it won't be Phuket, just b/c I was advised the diving is only "okay". If I was going to be in Asia and the diving was just going to be "okay" then I must as well dive in the Caribbeans.

We are now going to Sipadan, Borneo. Still part of Malaysia but a whole lot harder to get to.

I have to:
Fly to Kuala Lumpur, stay the night.
Fly to Tawau the next morning, 7am flight!
Land transfer from Tawau to Semporna (fishing village where the Jetty stations are at)
Boat transfer out to the islands.

Good thing I arrive to tranquil island pace for the next few days. Hopefully, we will get to do an intro dive the first day we get there. Then it will be 3 days of diving, 3 dives each. Day 5 is pretty much spent travelling back to civilization. :(

Then back to HK again for a few days, then to Taipei w/ mom for a few days, back to HK for the wedding and the rest of the time, spend it in Hong Kong.

Man, just tired talking about it! Think I might need an extra week back in Toronto to rest from this vacation!
