 A monster cumulus cloud on the horizon at dusk points the way for my Air Malaysia flight from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok on Tuesday. The photo was taken from my window seat on the second of five separate flights over 36 hours of travel to the Island of Crete, Greece. Amazingly, I made all my connections and lost nothing along the way. Now I'm now enjoying life in the Mediterranean far more than I imagined I would. Stories and photos from my first few days here will come shortly.
