One of these days I might make it to Borneo
I had a reservation booked at Hyatt Regency KK last November, then canceled my trip and ate the loss on a $369 ticket from San Jose SJC to Kuala Lumpur when I felt like I had been away from home too much in the previous two months. That was the second time I canceled a trip to Sabah after an aborted trip in 2000. I still have not been to Malaysia. One of these days I might make it to Borneo.
