TRAVEL


Getting There and Back

Currently we have reservations for leaving Des Moines on May 9 in the evening and arriving in Kuala Lumpur at about noon on May 11.  Flight time is about 22 hours.  With layover time the total trip will take about 30 hours.   On the return trip the class will leave Kuala Lumpur early on May 25 for Singapore. That will provide the afternoon and evening and the next two days in Singapore.   We will then depart Singapore for Des Moines early morning on May 28 and arrive back in Des Moines late on May 28 (gaining back the day lost on the way over).
