Spring Break is a time of laughter, relaxation and travel. Ours crept upon us as we were still trying to figure out our own schedules, Irini's likes and dislikes and the like. We decided, however, that a trip was in order. After all, Sammy and Erika didn't come all the way to Malaysia to sit in our living room for three months. So, we decided to introduce Irini to a bit of a colder climate: Cameron Highlands. Irini took things in stride, but it was obvious that mom and dad had no clue how to deal with the cool weather, the rain, and the wind. Having said that, they improvised as Irini was given a first glimpse of winter clothes: A regular "oncie" and socks inside a pajama. Add a pair of mittens and we were good to go! The trip's purpose, apart from seeing the highlands, was to deal with the logistics of traveling with a child. Here we received mixed results. Enough flexibility was given to the circumstances, and with this adjustment and that, things were "worked out". In the end, a great time was had by all. We saw beautiful tea plantations and visited strawberry 'farms'. All in all, arguably more time was spent in the car driving from place to place, than actually enjoying the outdoors. Poor little Irini, Sammy, and Erika had a bit of a back-seat cramps. Today we take the day off, before heading to the Malaysian East Coast tomorrow. Life is good at Spring Break, and Irini's journey's have now begun in earnsest.
