Very Tiring Journey

Well the journey from Kuala Lumpur to Larra's home town can be done by some drivers in 3 hours.

Larra has even done it in 4 hours herself.

But it can take 5 hours or more, especially if you get caught in traffic jams leaving KL on a friday night, which is why Larra does not enjoy taking a weekend break starting on a Friday Night.

This is currently the dry season, and Larra does not like driving in heavy rain. Heavy Rain can occur frequently in December and January, but now it is the dry season, so rain 'Will' not be a problem.

The only problem is that nobody told the weather.

This morning Larra awoke to thunderus non-stop rain. Thankful she was that she was sharing the journey with her Niece, Husband and Grand Niece. The Niece's husband (Nephew) will do all the driving.

That is all the good news.

Amidst teeming rain they left Petalling Jaya, and it seemed the whole of Petalling Jaya was leaving for the weekend.

They headed by Kuala Lumpur and headed for the main Malaysia Peninsular North -South highway. It seemed everyone else was headed that way too.

They got on to the main North-South highway heading North for Larra's home province up towards the Thai border on the West Coast. It seemed everyone else was heading that way too.

It was non stop traffic jams nose to tail all the way, for hour after hour. They left early in the morning, and somehow it was starting to getting dark and they were not even there yet!

By now it was pitch black, they had arrived, it had taken almost 11 hours. I had swapped a few text messages, and now Larra ws phoning me from her house.

Tired but safe. That was 13:00 pm GMT 21:00 PM Malaysia Time. I had to go to work, but not before 15 minutes on the phone with Larra.

I have read out to her all the Page Comments, all the Blog Comments, and all the Mail Messages received since she left. I have told her how I have replied, and about the blog entries I have made on her behalf. She seemed quite appreciative, I think I may keep the position of P.P.S. should the need rise again.

I have returned from work, and Larra shall be rising from her sleep at any moment now. I shall tell her of the new blog comments et al, and receive further instructions, I may be able to negotiate a pay rise if you all speak kindly of me on her return.

All for now, Hark, my Mistress wakes, Herb - - p.p.s. to Larra
