Peanut Butter Jelly Donut time

We woke up early on the next morning to get to the top of the towers. Didn’t work as well as we planned. The line went on and on and by the time we got to the end they put the ‘sold out’ sign directly in front of us. Luckily for us- go figure- the Petronas Towers have a huge mall at the bottom. Shopping- just what we needed, right? So we went to Dunkin Donuts for coffee. OKAY- I don’t know about you, but when I wake up and I’m dying for an iced mocha, I certainly don’t crave a peanut butter jelly donut with it. Or pumpkin for that matter. Or about half of the Malaysian choices. Yet, there they were. The strangest smorgasbord of options I’ve ever seen in my life. I got a Mint Chocolate Chip and Crunchy Chocolate. Believe it or not- it was delicious. It tasted like a Mint Meltaway and a chocolate donut with rice krispies on it. High five to them for making donuts- let alone Dunkin Donuts- memorable.

Before we headed to the airport, we stopped at- sigh- another mall. At the airport, Stephanie and Lindsay realized it was pointless to fly back when they were going to backtrack the next day heading to the Cameroon Highlands. So they went in search of another way to get there. That was the last we saw of them. Haha- no not like that. So Hallie and I just sat around eating McDonalds and waiting for our plane. We ended up getting the Manchester soccer team’s plane, with their signatures everywhere.

So here’s a secret. Not really much of a secret. I’m afraid of the first 5 minutes of flying. I can never get that scene from Final Destination out of my head. So I’m already hesitant about flying. So we’re waiting. And waiting. A little longer than necessary. They start making announcements. Then they start patrolling the aisles. Then they start checking tickets. Okay… so we have an extra person on our plane. Just a random person amongst us. They continue to check tickets. Once. Twice. Still can’t find this extra person. They make a couple more announcements and go through a list. So what do we do? We take off and take a random, unknown person to Penang with us. Sketch.
