We are frantically getting ready for the trip. With 2 weeks left, we have a lot to do! But we're getting it together. Here is one of two backpacks that we are bringing. We are attempting to pack super light and only bring the essentials so that we can bring lots of fun stuff back with us.
Ever since reading the book, A Gift of Rain, by Tan Twan Eng, Nick has had a deep desire to visit Penang, Malaysia. So, it was that we found ourselves making our second trip outside of Singapore since arriving in February to visit Penang to experience the rich history, culture and food for which it is well-known.
Ever since we’ve arrived in Singapore, we’ve heard the locals tell us about Bintan. “You have to go to Bintan. It’s an easy weekend get-away and the resorts are all-inclusive.” With an adventurous set of co-workers in town from London, on a whim and with a free weekend in hand, 5 of us (Nick, Tim, Mike, Sarah and Ellen) booked a trip at the last minute and headed to Bintan, Indonesia. And what a weekend it was!
